Page Turner (Literary Device)
A "Page Turner" is a literary device used to describe a book that is so engaging and compelling that readers feel compelled to keep turning the pages. This term often refers to stories with suspenseful plots, intriguing characters, or unexpected twists that maintain the reader's interest. The goal is to create a sense of urgency, making it difficult for readers to put the book down.
Authors employ various techniques to achieve this effect, such as cliffhangers, vivid descriptions, and well-timed revelations. Popular genres that often feature page-turning elements include thrillers, mysteries, and romantic novels. Ultimately, a page-turner captivates readers, drawing them deeper into the narrative.
