So much more!,
By Lishi (BC, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (Paperback)
The book adds a lot to the inner narrative of Kyon that you might not get from the anime alone. The anime certainly helped me to visualize the events that I'm not sure the book would convey on its own (but then, what experience do I have with espers, aliens, and time travelers?)A must-read for fans of the series!

It's like the TVSeries+1,

This review is from: The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (Paperback)
As someone who has seen the anime series (first season only), this book basically read exactly like how it played out on TV; but, with more Kyon. It was a fun revisit of the series, as it adds a solid perspective throughout. My favourite part was all of Nagato's expanded dialogues. It was much more enjoyable being able to have a solid grasp of her, since her portrayal in the anime would not have been able to express that in the same way (ie: technical data) -- in contrast, the text could never fully express her visual data. Like Kona-chan (Lucky Star) would say... "two worlds!"... reading Haruhi Suzumiya in book format AND watching its anime version invariably go hand-in-hand to create a sum greater than its parts.

This is NOT the manga,
By Lumiere - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (Hardcover)
Almost every single review here is about volume one of the manga. This is NOT the manga, but a translated light novel, which means there's no pictures other than a few pages of colored illustrations which I believe is by Noizi Ito (who designed the Haruhi characters, as well as Shana characters), and the manga preview. The light novel is what started it all, so this novel is the reason the anime and manga versions even existed.Do not base the reviews on all the reviews talking about the manga, because this is not the manga. The quality of this translated light novel is very good, and the hardcover makes it look very nice. 9 of 9 people found the following review helpful

Excellent,
By Aaron C. Cash "Rinuv" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (Hardcover)
This light novel has a fascinating style of narration that feeds the action to the reader in a descriptive and comical way. The first-person perspective lends to the narration in a texturally exciting fashion.

Haruhi Light Novel,
By Anton D - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (Hardcover)
This book is a must have for both Haruhi fans and those who have been recently introduced to this wonderful series. It is very well translated and doesn't leave those who are not accustomed to Japanese culture completely confused. Also, the art work and colored pages are extremely beautiful. A must buy!
