lazyreaderfromk's review against another edition
2.0
This is a terrible book. Even two stars feels very generous as there are numerous problems like Kyon pathetic obsession with Mikuru, Mikuru's (not funny) exploitation etc, but these have been expounded by many others in here.
My personal greatest problem with it lies in a passage in chapter 3, where Kyon goes on questioning how Mikuru can suddenly shoot lasers to a stupid monolog about time, Haruhi and other stuff about growing up to a being capable of altering the reality. This stupidity is repeated in the next chapter with this line.
"You can’t have what you want unless you’re extremely rich or powerful. Go become a politician or something."
Like how can some say this stupid line about a literal God.
Thus, while the book has some excellent sences, it is thoroughly disappointing.

En esta novela, tanto en orden de publicación como en orden cronológico, vemos el conflicto entre los integrantes del club. Todos hacen lo que Haruhi manda, pero Kyon comienza a cansarse, hasta el extremo de llegar al enfrentamiento. Mientras los demás agachan la cabeza, el alza la bandera de la autodeterminación, de los límites de lo que es justo, lógico y respetable... y al hacerlo no hace más que causar el enojo de Suzumiya, lo cual siempre puede derivar en la destrucción del universo como lo conocemos.
El autor no es George R. R. Martin ni nada por el estilo, pero esta novela cumple perfectamente con lo que se propone, y es uno de los libros de la saga que más disfruté.

Não tão bom como o primeiro da série, em parte porque a história poderia ter sido contada em menos páginas, sem se perder nada. Ainda assim, Haruhi e companhia continuam a divertir com as loucura já habitual da Brigada SOS. Espalhadas ao longo do livro estão ainda várias pistas relativas aos membros mais extraordinários do clube!
As ilustrações continuam a ser maravilhosas, talvez até melhores que no livro anterior!

I really hope Disappearance is worth it because this was ROUGH.

A decent follow-up to The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. This second installment in the series maintains the light and fun atmosphere of the first. The movie plot is quite thin, and while I'm fairly sure the series has no real overarching storyline, I still found myself wanting some sort of development in addition to reading the everyday adventures of Haruhi and the gang. The little information that was revealed about the characters weren't really enough for one book. Still, it was enjoyable enough.

The first book was interesting enough, but this one was just...really bland. I'm amazed this series spawned such a phenomenon. This has to be a translation thing.
I enjoyed the pop culture references, though I think the translation team could have presented them better. I'm assuming they may not have gotten them all either.
Though this book is really short, it felt like it took ages to read. I just wasn't that interested. I think this is where I'll leave the series.
