Dan Brown and John Grisham are the kings of page turners. The books suck, but with a mini-cliffhanger at the end of every 3-page-long chapter they keep their fans lips moving.

I read this in one sitting. It was a very bad thing for me as I was a kid at the time and it was a school day. I *could not* put the book down.

Others that hooked me badly:
Starship Troopers
Hunt for Red October
Ender's Game

 

[TridenT]

One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish.

 

[ControlD]

Battlefield Earth - L. Ron Hubbard

It may have been a terrible movie but the book is damned near impossible to put down.

 

[JamesV]

Ender's Game - read it before the movie comes out.

 

[randomrogue]

Most of Game of Thrones. Book 4 blows.
The Twilight Series
Harry Potter Series
Hunger Games Series
Da Vinci Code
Anne Rice books can be pretty good. I read the books about witches and the some of her vampire books.
Bram Stokers Dracula
Mary Shellys Frankenstein
I liked Jurassic Park. I can't remember if I liked the second one though.
