So I've been looking for something to really get my teeth into for a while but I haven't had all that much luck.. Any suggestions for a really addictive page turner that I can read? My top five favourite books are:

-Restless, by William Boyd. Just love it. Don't like his other stuff tho...
-The Hunger Games (first book), by Suzanne Collins. Didn't like the other two books. Everything felt a bit weak after book one.
-The Elegance of the Hedgehog, by Muriel Barbery. A very beautiful book.
-The Slap, by Christos Tsiolkas. Duno why I like this one, just felt like I learnt a lot for some reason
-Sophie's World by Jostein Gaarder - really interesting one

Of those books I've only read The Hunger Games and Sophie's World but I think you could maybe try Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card.

Try reading the Boy in the Striped Pyjamas, by John Boyne -
I haven't actually read it yet, but I will be soon, I've watched the movie which was really emotional/sad ; and so I want to read it

Totally agree. The first one - amazing. 2 was better than 3 but both rubbish.

How about the Time Travellers Wife? So much better than the stupid film they bought out, First book to make me actually cry.

You're welcome

If you liked the hunger games try pure by julianna baggot, apparently there are slight apocalyptic similarities but I don't see them, it is a good read though.
