review 1: Well, this was interesting.I won't bother giving a synopsis. Instead, I'll say that this is definitely a YA book. Not a whole lot of depth for an adult's book but mature enough content that it isn't a kid's book. I'd recommend it to teenagers, I personally felt I am a bit above the demographic but maybe it gets more mature as the series progresses.Anyway, to the 'not too spoilery' review.The story itself was good. There were plenty of tropes and I feel it's a book written for people who have been reading/watching manga/anime for a few years. I have a suspicion that a lot of these tropes are going to be parodied to a greater extent later in the series.The book was good but not great. To a big extent, it was setting the stage for the series. Lot's of introductions to charact... moreers and ideas but not a whole lot of payoff. It began to drag towards the end.However, the end was my favourite part. The last few chapters were really good and actually got you excited. The ending was really satisfying for what was mainly a 'setup' novel.I wasn't planning on buying the second book for the most part of reading this but due to the great ending, I'm very inclined to do so.
review 2: Un voto a metà fra la serie anime, che ho trovato estremamente riuscita ed originale ed il manga, che invece mi annoia a morte.La light novel è l'inizio del mondo di Haruhi, con i suoi controsensi ed il suo contorto approccio alla realtà ... ed al soprannaturale. La Jpop ha pubblicato in italiano la prima (ad oggi anche la seconda e la terza) opera, da cui sono state poi tratte le due serie animate, diventate un vero e proprio cult in Giappone.La figura di Haruhi, in tutto il suo essere tsundere a livelli dilagante, conquista il lettore e lo appassiona. La lettura è scorrevole, leggera e divertente. Avere già visionato la serie animata, pur rivelando buona parte della trama di questa light novel, non rovina il piacere della lettura, che apporta, seppur in minima parte, qualche dettaglio aggiuntivo alla storia.Consigliabile, per chi è curioso di tuffarsi fra le stranezze di questa ragazza imbronciata a caccia perenne di alieni ed entità soprannaturali. less
