You always remember the books you can't put down! These books are the kind where you have a deep need to tell everyone about it when you're done. This is the whole goal at CantPutDown.com. Come here and tell everyone about the books you can't put down and share that excitement with others so that maybe they will enjoy the book as much as you did.
As of now my all time number one book that you can't put down is:
The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett (read book review)
My second favorite book that you can't put down is:
Pope Joan by Donna Woolfolk Cross (read book review)
And my third favorite book that you can't put down is:
A Thousand Splendid Sun by Khaled Hosseini (read book review)
And the last but not least book that you can't put down is:
New Moon by Stephenie Meyer (read book review)
Now these four books are SO different from one another. The two things that were so unforgettable with these novels were the story telling and uniqueness of the plots. Each author had such a distinct technique in the way that they told the story to the reader that you felt like you were actually walking along with the characters as you read. You came to know each character and felt like you could understand their thoughts and emotions with such vivid detail. The plots in each of these books were exceptionally unique. Just when you think you've heard and seen it all before, these plots were surprisingly and refreshingly unpredictable. And when you read books like these you have to tell someone else about it. You can't keep it all to yourself.
And you always wonder if someone else will have the same reaction to the book that you did. I know New Moon is a book like that. Many people liked New Moon the least when compared to the other books in the Twilight series. For me New Moon set up such intensity and suspense right to the very end that it was unbearable to have to wait and turn page by page. I just couldn't wait to find out what was going to happen at the end. And the love that was missing/building between characters was described with such intensity that you felt the agony and power through Stephenie Meyer's words. Her ability to tell the story was SO impressive and is why I couldn't put New Moon down.
Do you have a book you can't put down and need to tell someone about it?!
