5* The climax halfway through the book, when Bastian finally calls out the Childlike Empress's new name.
6* When Bastian uses Al Tsahir at the top of the Star Cloister.

11** Comes at a pretty high price, though, as it means that since he's used up all Al Tsahir's light, he no longer has it when he ''really'' needs it. The irony isn't lost on him, especially since the entire scene at the Star Cloister, while impressive (and gives a few Fantasticans a momentary glimpse of the real world), was basically just another instance of Bastian showing off and ultimately didn't accomplish anything of any worth.
12* Atreyu's meeting with Gmork, while less dramatic than in the film, still counts as pretty awesome, especially when G'mork at the end of the scene realizes just who it is he's spent the last half-hour talking to and basically laughs himself to death over the irony.
