A real page-turner
How would you say "a real page-turner" in Spanish. This refer to a book, a novel or some such, with so much interest or suspense, that you just keep turning the pages, page after page. (It happens to me with Dan Brown's novels).
I think of "una novela apasionante" but it is not quite the same image. "Una obra que no te deja irte a dormir"... There are alternatives, but I am looking for something short and brief that will convey the same concept and image in Spanish.

"Novela apasionante" y "que no te deja irte a dormir" son las más comunes, supongo.
También se dicen cosas como "realmente interesante", "lo lees de un tirón (en México, "jalón"), "cuando te das cuenta, ya amaneció"...  En cuanto a la imagen en inglés de "page-turner", quizás "pasas las páginas una tras otra", "no paras hasta la última página"...

Otra común (tiene muchas formas) "Es un libro que te atrapa hasta el final/desde el comienzo hasta el fin"

Ah, gracias, Ookami. Sí, esa opción también se usa en España.
