Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (Book 4), is written by J.K. Rowling, was released on 2000-07-08 from Listening Library, Usually ships in 24 hours. The list price is around US$39.95. (*The prices are subject to change) Street price is around $29.16.
In J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Harry Potter a young wizard doesn't want what everyone else does. He has always been the center of attention and now that he is entered in the Triwizard Tournament, he gets even more attention! He didn't enter himself and whoever did is not his friend. He must compete in three tasks to achieve a thousand galleons which he doesn't need. This is such a great story and it's one of the longest books in the series, but it seems so short and I couldn't put it down.
And it's available in Amazon UK, but I'm not sure about the price. |

The Penultimate Peril (A Series of Unfortunate Events, Book 12), is written by Lemony Snicket, was released on 2005-10-18 from HarperChildrensAudio, Usually ships in 24 hours. The list price is around US$20.00. (*The prices are subject to change) Street price is around $17.60.
This book by Lemony Snicket is one of the best books that he has written in this series, in my opinion. It has a good plot to it, it's not confusing or boring, and it's not very hard to read either.
The plot is that three children are running from Count Olaf and end up getting a job at this hotel only to find out that he is staying at this hotel with a bunch of his friends. The kids have to get a disguise and work there without being caught.
I give this book five stars because it is just an awesome book for anyone who likes to read this series. This book is definitely in the top three books in this series.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (Book 2), is written by J.K. Rowling, was released on 1999-12-01 from Listening Library. The list price is around US$35.00.
When I saw the Harry Potter movie marathon during the holidays, I thought I'd try reading the books. At first, I was skeptical because when they first came out I didn't get what the hype was all about. But now after seeing the movies and reading the complete series, I understand it now.
This book is truly captivating, more intense and frightening than the first. I absolutely loved it! It was both entertaining and funny, much like the other six in the series. It is engaging to read, and I honestly think it appeals to all ages. Even older readers will enjoy being taken back to the days when the border between fantasy and reality was blurred, and all the books would keep the modern teenager entranced. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets actually kept me laughing throughout. At some points in the middle, the story may get slightly boring, but don't worry, it gets better. This series blurs the ordinary design of which children's books are written. But most are not always written with the same styl...
And it's available in Amazon UK, but I'm not sure about the price. |

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (Full-Color Collector's Edition), is written by C. S. Lewis, was released on 2000-08-22 from HarperCollins, Usually ships in 24 hours. (*The prices are subject to change) Street price is around $8.99.
My edition of this book is subtitled " Book 1 in the chronicles of Narnia". Interestingly the author wanted this book read after "The Magician's Nephew" where he details how the lion Aslan created Narnia and gave the gift of speech to its animals. I mention this fact since many readers have access to the seven Narnia books and may wish to read "Nephew" first. Of course I am assuming you are reading these comments BEFORE you read the books! In any event "Wardrobe" introduced us to the Pevensie children Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy. Who travel to the land of Narnia by entering and exiting a "magic" wardrobe in the attic of an old Professor. It is not my intent in these short comments to summarize the entire story, after all discovering the delights therein are one of the prime pleasures in reading. One of the pleasures for this reader was the illustration at the beginning of each chapter by Pauline Baynes.
In UK, it sells for £4.52 |

A Little History of the World, is written by E. H. Gombrich, was released on 2005-10-13 from Yale University Press, Usually ships in 24 hours. The list price is around US$25.00. (*The prices are subject to change) Street price is around $15.51.
Misleading title. Its just a history of Europe. That why it fails. Great civilizations / countries like China, Japan, India , North America, South America and even Russia are ignored or dismissed in a few lines. Looks like the author was actually living in the middle ages. He seems to have little idea that there was a big world beyond the boundaries of the European continent. A few chapters on the rest of the world would have helped. Keeping this aspect aside, the book is OK. Easy to read. Easier to forget.
