If you're a fan of WWII lit then this classic book (turned into a major motion picture starring Gregory Peck) will keep you reading all night long.

    <body><![CDATA[This was recommended to me by Amy Turley. Dare I use the cliche, and call it a page-turner? <br/><br/>In any case, the story and characters really grabbed me.
