At the end, Harry being selected as the Champion of the tournament. The story about the tournament was the best part of the book from the whole series of the Harry Potter and I really enjonyed it.

2.

Langdon and Neveu get on a high-paced, dangerous adventure to discover the dead curator’s prior involvement in a secret society known as the Priory of Sion. When I was reading it, it was fresh impact of the religion. As I am a christian since I was very young and this book express the idea of christian religion in other way. (Da Vinci Code)

It was easier to understand and ending was more likely happy ending and I really enjoyed it. (Angels & Demons)

The story starts with one of the children who wanted to know if there was a way out of the back of the wardrobe. The story of a world under siege by the powers of darkness, only it is not Hitler who leads the attack but the White Witch. The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe marked a return to a familiar Lewis theme. When I was reading it I mostly liked it however, it was boring at the some part of it. it was not 100% satisfied reading but the story is well organised it and I enjoyed it at the end. (Narnia)

This novel is one of the books I found hard to understand. The novel is not based on happy mood can be bored for first time but when I was reading it for twice It was really interesting story.(Perfume)

For the first series, I watched movie first and It was good enough to lead me read the second series of the book. I was not use to enjoy the vampire story and this book was a first time to enjoy the vampire book and also movie as well. (Twilight)

It's a graphic tale of the violence, the blood, the fear, and the insanity of war.These kids are underdogs, they're not going to win the war, they're more likely to end up dead in a ditch than send the enemy retreating, but it's their land, their parents and friends in prison camps. They give a damn and they'd rather die fighting than give up. (Tomorrow When the War began)
