The figure of speech used in the text is a pun. The phrase "impossible to put down" plays on the literal meaning of "anti-gravity" as well as the figurative meaning of a book being so engaging that one does not want to stop reading it.
Which figure of speech is used in this text?
Noah remarked that the new book on anti-gravity was impossible to put down.
