be compulsively readable

A psychological thriller with an emotionally dense unreliable narrator, and a terrifyingly needy heroine, it is compulsively readable.

(Ages 12 and up) John Marsden's trilogy about a band of teen-age terrorists resisting the annexation of Australia by a foreign army is compulsively readable.

The story Mr. Wolff tells instead is compulsively readable - despite nagging questions about how he could remember the detailed and entertaining dialogue that novelizes the account so well.

Still, I hope this doesn't become one of those novels I find myself devouring at every available opportunity not because it is compulsively readable but simply because I want it to be over.
