review 1: Haruhi Suzumiya è una normale adolescente, e sarebbe davvero tutto normale se solo non fosse una divinità dalla cui volontà è stato emanato tutto il creato. Ora Haruhi, ignara dei suoi poteri, frequenta le scuole superiori e fonda uno strambo club dove vengono riuniti una serie di personaggi ancora più strani di lei: una lettrice compulsiva (mi ricorda qualcuno... cough, cough) che in realtà è un robot, una procace studentessa del secondo anno che si rivela una viaggiatrice nel tempo e un misterioso studente trasferitosi ad anno scolastico iniziato che è dotato di poteri paranormali. E tra loro l'ignaro essere umano Kyon, che è la voce narrante della vicenda. Kyon è l'unico umano che Haruhi vuole avere intorno e nessuno capisce cosa abbia di speciale, men che men... moreo lo stesso Kyon, che decide di mettercela tutta per mantenere Haruhi serena e impedirle di cancellare inavvertitamente la realtà in seguito a uno sbalzo d'umore.Non saprei onestamente quante stelline dare al libro. Stilisticamente mi è sembrato sciatto, anche se potrebbe dipendere dalla traduzione. La storia in sé è molto mangosa - e non è necessariamente un difetto. La caratterizzazione dei personaggi è piuttosto manierista ed è sconcertante in che modo quasi naturale vengano presentate quelle che sono vere e proprie molestie sessuali a opera di Haruhi ai danni di Asahina. Ma ancora più sconcertante è che nonostante tutti questi evidenti difetti il libro si lasci leggere tutto sommato volentieri, anzi direi che è l'ideale per quando non si ha molta voglia di leggere, perché i capitoli sono così brevi che ci vuole davvero poco a leggere il libro. E l'idea di base è buona. Insomma, sentimenti abbastanza misti. Ci ripenserò.
review 2: Sometimes...Sometimes when you read book after book, some good, some bad, and some great, you find a book that is just... that is just beautiful. The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya by Nagaru Tanigawa is one of those books. Now enough melodrama (ha!) let's get to the book itself. Our narrator and protagonist only known by his nickname Kyon was never the kid who believed in Santa Claus, and he stopped believing in thigs like Aliens, Time Travelers, Espers, and Sliders a long time ago. He was perfectly content with living a normal life as a normal high school student. That is until he met Haruhi Suzumiya. Haruhi is Kyon's opposite. She has no time for normal humans. When Kyon meets her. She is very antisocial and is constantly frowning. When they start making conversation over time. Kyon responds to her complaint that she has found no good clubs by telling her to start her own. Haruhi takes this to heart and drafts Kyon into the S.O.S brigade. It's mission, to find the mysterious and supernatural. Haruhi drafts three more students, the quiet and emotionless Yuki Nagato, the petite yet well endowed crybaby Mikuru Asahina, and the perky "Mysterious Transfer Student" according to Haruhi, Itsuki Koizumi. Now from you just read, you would think that this is just some wacky high school story about an odd club right. Ha, ha, ha, WRONG!!! Kyon soon discovers that is club-mates are not at all normal. Each of his three fellow recruits is an alien, time traveler, and esper specifically (Well one is something like an esper). Each works for a group and all have a common mission. To monitor Haruhi Suzumiya. Why you ask, well for some reason with no definite answer, Haruhi has the power to create, rewrite and destroy reality. The strangest part, she doesn't even know it. After three confessions and three supernatural experiences Kyon finally believes in what is being said around him and must know help his new supernatural friends to make sure Haruhi doesn't grow bored with the world and subconsciously destroys the world and starts it over. This book is simply fantastic. It has a lot of great comedy, nice dramatic moments, and a little bit of action. There is a lot of open ended questions raised to be hopefully answered at a later time. The characters are very interesting and fun to read about. I have already seen some of the series and yet this did not feel boring to read. There is a lot of dialogue and Kyon does a fantastic job as narrator with his great snark and interesting and semi-realistic personality. I cannot put in words how a amazing this book is. I look forward to reading the next book "The Sigh of Haruhi Suzumiya"I give "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya" 5 out of 5 stars.P.S. If you are still reading this, what are you doing you idiots! As leader of the S.O.Y Brigade, I order you to go get this book! less
