If you like "Bartimaeus Sequence" by Jonathan Stroud, then you might enjoy...

Harry Dresden, a Chicago bound professional wizard, and the only one with an ad in the yellow pages. Business is sadly dreadful, so he jumps on it when the local police bring him in as a consultant on a strange double murder.

The Dresden Files is a must read for anyone with the slightest interest in this gangrene.

Both The Dresden Files and Bartimaeus has witty and sarcastic character dialogues.

The earth's government agencies started to breed child geniuses to train as soldiers in order to develop a secure defense against a hostile alien race's next attack. The brilliant young boy Andrew "Ender" Wiggin is drafted to the orbiting Battle School for rigorous military training. Ender's skills make him a leader among his peers and respected in the Battle Room, where they play at mock battles in zero gravity. Will Ender become the great general Earth needs to survive?

Do not judge a book by its authors personal views. This is an excellent book, and you should not forego it because of Orson Scott Card stupid personal views.

Ender and Bartimaeus are both highly intelligent and has a sharp tongue.

Atticus O'Sullivan is the last of the Druids and runns an occult bookshop in Arizona. He is an handsome, tattooed Irish dude that looks like he is in his early twenties but he is actuality over twenty centuries old.

In this first book a very angry Celtic god wants that sword, and he’s hounded Atticus for centuries. He has finally tracked Atticus down. How is Atticus going to handle a good?

This is the start of an exiting page-turning series where you often laugh out loud from all the witty commentaries. This series is absolutely recommended.

Both The Iron Druid and Bartimaeus has witty character dialogues.

Kara Gillian is a detective and a summoner of daemons. During a routine summoning where she wanted to use her skill to track down a serial killer she accidentally summoned Rhyzkahl, and angelic human looking creature. What is this powerful undaemon looking creature and can she stop the serial killer?

Mark of the Demon is the first book in the Kara Gillian series. It is a really great book, just as the rest of them.

Both series have daemon summoning in them.

Harry lives a miserable life with the Dursleys, his horrible aunt and uncle, and their abominable son, Dudley. Harry's room is a tiny cupboard under the stairs, and he hasn't had a birthday party in ten years. But all that is about to change when a mysterious letter arrives by owl, a letter with an invitation to Hogwart, an infamous school for witches and wizards.

This is the first book of a finished seven book series about Harry Potter, the boy who lived. To be honest, I am not a fan of the two first books in this series, but the rest of them are absolutely fantastic. Highly recommended.

I remember liking this trilogy quite well. Its a good children and young adult book. I think I would still like it if I were to read it again now as an regular adult.

Eragon, a fifteen year old farm boy, finds a polished blue stone in the forest. He thinks it is just a lucky discovery that might buy is family meat for the winter. But it`s no stone, it's an egg, and when a dragon hatches from it his life is changed forever. Eragon is thrust into a perilous new world of destiny, magic, and evil beings. Can Eragon take up become one of the legendary Dragon Riders and save the Empire?

Eragon, and the rest of the The Inheritance Cycle, is ok books, but not more than that. They are worth reading, but only if you do not have anything better at hand.

Two neighbouring countries are divided by a wall, Ancelstierre to the south and the Old Kingdom to the north. Ancelstierre has a technology level and society similar to that of early-20th century England. The Old Kingdom has a more medieval technological level, but they do have both Free magic and Charter Magic. This last titbit is officially denied by the government of Ancelstierre and disbelieved by most of their inhabitants. Sabriel is in her last year at Wyverley College, a private school in Ancelstierre that lies close to the wall to the Old Kingdom. An undead creature enters their dormitory. Sabriel notices it is attempting to communicate, its a messanger from her father, the Abhorsen, who is past the Seventh Gate of Death. He tells her that she is to take on the role of Abhorsen and defeat Kerrigor, a powerful necromancer, who is attempting to make his way back into Life. The unded messanger gives her the Abhorsen's bandelier of bells, the Abhorsen's sword and a map of the Old Kingdom. Sabriel leaves Wyverley College and travel into the mytical land of the Old Kongdom.

Sabriel is a really great book and the rest of the Abhorsen books are just as good.

Its a while since I watched this anime, but I remember it as good. Absolutely worth watching.

Rin vows to become the ultimate exorcist and defeat his own father.

I did like Ao no Exorcist, it was very good. I might be watching it again soon.

While in captivity he develops a first edition armoured suit and a new power source. Back home he perfects his power source and creates a new and improved armoured suit. He becomes Iron Man.

This is an excellent movie. Iron Man is one of my favourite super heroes and Robert Downey Jr. really makes him shine. This is one of the must watch super hero movies.

There are something about Tony Stark and Bartimaeus that are similar. Its in their dialogue and their behaviour.

Lucifer is so smitten with this detective that he decides to join the LAPD as a consultant using his skill to draw out people's deepest desires and wishes to solve crimes.

I love this show. I know it`s jet another crime show with a specially gifted but flawed main person, but I still like it. Some people get in a fizzy fit because the TV show goes to far away from the comic it`s based on, but I have never read the comic books so I don really care about that.
