You have an error in your ajax definitions. It should be:

$.ajax
({ 
    url: 'reserbook.php',
    data: "book_id="+book_id,
    type: 'post',
    success: function()
    {
        $('.modal-box').text(result).fadeIn(700, function() 
        {
            setTimeout(function() 
            {
                $('.modal-box').fadeOut();
            }, 2000);
        });
    }
});
