What a way to end the series！ Gets you all confused and then a revelation at the end。。。

Good conclusion。 The climax was good and promising but a little dull in writing。 The explanations were not entirely satisfactory Although there were some good surprising moments。

I'm puzzled by the need the author feels to mention the name of every single character we have been introduced to in this series every two pages or so whether they are involved / relevant to the topic at hand。 Ten books into the series， the readers should already know who they are， and what they can or cannot do in a given situation without having to be reminded every so often。 It makes you doubt the fact that you actually liked and cared for these characters。。 now they feel like they're kind of I'm puzzled by the need the author feels to mention the name of every single character we have been introduced to in this series every two pages or so whether they are involved / relevant to the topic at hand。 Ten books into the series， the readers should already know who they are， and what they can or cannot do in a given situation without having to be reminded every so often。 It makes you doubt the fact that you actually liked and cared for these characters。。 now they feel like they're kind of annoying。That said， I am happy that the series has come to a conclusion and that they have started looking to the future rather than just thinking about what exploits they are going to be involved in tomorrow。 。。。more

The Surprise continues the story of The Dissociation of Haruhi Suzumiya。 The world has forked into two separate timelines while Kyon was innocently taking a bath （he’d probably make a dry remark about Marat or Archimedes…） Unlike the latter， Haruhi doesn’t need a lever to move the entire universe， she just isn’t aware that she can！ The final （or so it seems） instalment in the franchise， Kyon contends with an old school friend; a rival brigade comprising an alien， a time traveller and a esper; an The Surprise continues the story of The Dissociation of Haruhi Suzumiya。 The world has forked into two separate timelines while Kyon was innocently taking a bath （he’d probably make a dry remark about Marat or Archimedes…） Unlike the latter， Haruhi doesn’t need a lever to move the entire universe， she just isn’t aware that she can！ The final （or so it seems） instalment in the franchise， Kyon contends with an old school friend; a rival brigade comprising an alien， a time traveller and a esper; and the SOS club’s newest member， a mysterious and determined underclassman with a smiley-face barrette。 。。。more

Final book FINALLY！Well its over。 Having read this entire series I can say that these last two books were a complete and total waste of my time。 The ending was so cliched and the author did nothing but repeat himself over and over。 It seriously felt like the publisher said "we need 1000 pages， yesterday"， when the author actually only had 20 pages written。All and all it was a cute series， but not something that I will be revisiting anytime soon or that I would recommend to anyone。 The whole thin Final book FINALLY！Well its over。 Having read this entire series I can say that these last two books were a complete and total waste of my time。 The ending was so cliched and the author did nothing but repeat himself over and over。 It seriously felt like the publisher said "we need 1000 pages， yesterday"， when the author actually only had 20 pages written。All and all it was a cute series， but not something that I will be revisiting anytime soon or that I would recommend to anyone。 The whole thing did not seem very well thought out。 And the way it was brought to an end with more half-baked ideas only further annoyed me。 I was expecting so much more from this series。 。。。more

Finally got around to finishing this series I began years ago。 It meanders a bit too much， and it really didn’t need to be as long as it was， but I didn’t hate it。 Overall a good conclusion to the series。

First of all， you should read "The Surprise of Haruhi Suzumiya" before this one， since it's a direct sequel。 The later novel ended with a cliffhanger， and this one finishes the arc。 Again， the story is told from two different dimensions， and， now， we are never explicitly told which story we are reading， so you just need to pay attention and find out。 That's quite an exercise， mainly in the last portion of the book。Great novel。 Can't say much without spoiling， but if you've liked the previous nov First of all， you should read "The Surprise of Haruhi Suzumiya" before this one， since it's a direct sequel。 The later novel ended with a cliffhanger， and this one finishes the arc。 Again， the story is told from two different dimensions， and， now， we are never explicitly told which story we are reading， so you just need to pay attention and find out。 That's quite an exercise， mainly in the last portion of the book。Great novel。 Can't say much without spoiling， but if you've liked the previous novels， probably you're going to like this one to。 It's just a shame that Nagaru Tanigawa is in a hiatus。 。。。more

This was much better than I initially anticipated it would be。 The Dissociation was good but I felt it didn't really differentiate much between the alpha and beta timeline till the very end of the book。 The Surprise continues the two concurrent storyline and eventually merges them together to create something truly fun and interesting。 This is the Haruhi series at its best when its just being zany and fun。 While I still think that the Disappearance is the best thing to come out of this series I This was much better than I initially anticipated it would be。 The Dissociation was good but I felt it didn't really differentiate much between the alpha and beta timeline till the very end of the book。 The Surprise continues the two concurrent storyline and eventually merges them together to create something truly fun and interesting。 This is the Haruhi series at its best when its just being zany and fun。 While I still think that the Disappearance is the best thing to come out of this series I would love to see Kyoto Animation do something with the rest of the light novels。 Hopefully Tanigawa still has a few stories for us left in the future:） 。。。more

This is more of less my candid thoughts about the series of novels as a whole。For the last book in a series with such a great legacy， The Surprise of Haruhi Suzumiya was merely "okay。" Having to stretch out the final story between two （originally 3） books makes the pacing crawl at times， which makes the relatively simple and predictable plot all the more painful to endure。 It didn't bring closure to the series， it simply seemed like any of the other books after Disappearance。 Overall it seems as This is more of less my candid thoughts about the series of novels as a whole。For the last book in a series with such a great legacy， The Surprise of Haruhi Suzumiya was merely "okay。" Having to stretch out the final story between two （originally 3） books makes the pacing crawl at times， which makes the relatively simple and predictable plot all the more painful to endure。 It didn't bring closure to the series， it simply seemed like any of the other books after Disappearance。 Overall it seems as if Nagaru Tanigawa really ran out of ideas after Disappearance， which is why I'm almost glad that Kyoto Animation hasn't adapted the stories further。 There were a few good short stories among the 6 post disappearance novels （Snowy Mountain Syndrome， Love at First Sight， the Melancholy of Mikuru Asahina）， but most of the other stories are simply exercises in mediocrity that don't live up to the quality of the earlier works or produce anything memorable at all。 。。。more

5 stars out of 5！Contrary to widespread belief， I do not think The Surprise is the last Haruhi Suzumiya novel。 In The Observation， which is a fan book of Haruhi Suzumiya full of Noizi Ito's colorful illustrations， Tanigawa states that he plans on continuing the series after this book。 So Haruhi fans， rejoice！Anyway， onto the review。 This is probably my favorite of the Haruhi Suzumiya novels so far。 Aside from being humorous thanks to Kyon's deadpan snarking narrative， it is also very interesting 5 stars out of 5！Contrary to widespread belief， I do not think The Surprise is the last Haruhi Suzumiya novel。 In The Observation， which is a fan book of Haruhi Suzumiya full of Noizi Ito's colorful illustrations， Tanigawa states that he plans on continuing the series after this book。 So Haruhi fans， rejoice！Anyway， onto the review。 This is probably my favorite of the Haruhi Suzumiya novels so far。 Aside from being humorous thanks to Kyon's deadpan snarking narrative， it is also very interesting and even suspenseful， providing lots of insight into Haruhi's powers and the future Asahina the Elder comes from （and her time traveling overall）。 It moreover reveals a lot of info about Yuki's powers and the entity she hails from。 It even introduces the intriguing character named Yasumi， whose identity I shall not spoil。It might be confusing since a great portion of the novel is split into two different timelines。 Timeline a deals with Yasumi， while timeline b deals with Yuki's "fever" and Sasaki's mysterious powers （it is the more eventful time plane）。 It is all resolved by the end of this novel though， so don't worry。The illustrations by Noizi Ito are as gorgeous as ever。 Her art style has progressed a lot。Overall， this is another great addition to the Haruhi Suzumiya canon， and it does not disappoint。 If you love this series， then this book is required to be read at least once！ 。。。more

I can't believe it's over！ This was a quite satisfactory ending， even if I had some continuing issues with the split timeline gimmick。 （I liked the idea of it and was excited for the mental exercise of tracking it all！ In practice it was actually kind of dull to track， because the two timelines weren't given equal weight in plotting。 So much more could have gone wrong， and I wanted it to！） I read it awhile ago and don't remember much more than that。Anyway， on the whole I really recommend the ser I can't believe it's over！ This was a quite satisfactory ending， even if I had some continuing issues with the split timeline gimmick。 （I liked the idea of it and was excited for the mental exercise of tracking it all！ In practice it was actually kind of dull to track， because the two timelines weren't given equal weight in plotting。 So much more could have gone wrong， and I wanted it to！） I read it awhile ago and don't remember much more than that。Anyway， on the whole I really recommend the series， or watching the anime is fine too （although it doesn't go this far out in plot）。 This is a favorite series， and lots of fun。 。。。more

This book conclusively wraps up the Haruhi series， and does so with a sense of satisfactory closure。 Throughout the story， gaps from the previous events that took place were filled， giving the reader a real sense of continuity and also significance to what might previously have been a minor event。 The exposition delivered in the epilogue （by none other than Koizumi， of course） answered most of the questions that arose throughout the arc， and in the final climax。 It almost seems signature of the This book conclusively wraps up the Haruhi series， and does so with a sense of satisfactory closure。 Throughout the story， gaps from the previous events that took place were filled， giving the reader a real sense of continuity and also significance to what might previously have been a minor event。 The exposition delivered in the epilogue （by none other than Koizumi， of course） answered most of the questions that arose throughout the arc， and in the final climax。 It almost seems signature of the author to give a vaguely comprehensible event， and then have Koizumi fully explain it later。 。。。more

The Surprise of Haruhi Suzumiya is structurally one of the odder novels I've read。 The book is the second and third parts of a story begun in the previous novel， The Dissociation of Haruhi Suzumiya， and most of the story runs on two concurrent time line。While one time line deals with the SOS Brigade searching for new recruits and largely comes off as a "life as usual" for the crew， the second follows the narrator Kyon dealing with rogue factions of the time travels， aliens and espers that have b The Surprise of Haruhi Suzumiya is structurally one of the odder novels I've read。 The book is the second and third parts of a story begun in the previous novel， The Dissociation of Haruhi Suzumiya， and most of the story runs on two concurrent time line。While one time line deals with the SOS Brigade searching for new recruits and largely comes off as a "life as usual" for the crew， the second follows the narrator Kyon dealing with rogue factions of the time travels， aliens and espers that have become foundations for the novel's story。If you're familiar with the Haruhi Suzumiya franchise （either as novel or anime） I wouldn't say this particular book is world shattering， for while there are a few revelations of interest， it feels more like the wind up to a good first season than the foreseeable end of the franchise that it currently serves as。 While Tanigawa technically isn't done writing the story， he hasn't done another full novel in a few years since this one was released in Japan， and "Surprise" took a few years longer than usual to come together as it is。Still， the book is a fun romp and comes together nicely， but it is easily the longest read in the series （more so if the previous book is counted） owing to the divergent time lines which， thankfully， remain distinct and interesting enough until the events come to a head。 The Haruhi novels have been nothing if not experimental in terms of what tropes to employ and when Tanigawa does （hopefully） get the series rolling again， I look forward to seeing where the SOS Brigade goes next。 。。。more

The continuing side by side timelines continued from the previous novel in the series。 I was a bit disappointed with the ending， I wish that the author had chosen perhaps to add a new member of the SOS brigade rather than what was done。 It felt。。。 cheap。 However， I did enjoy the novel despite this fact so apparently the author knows better than I do。 :）

The final volume in the hit Haruhi Suzumiya series concludes the bifurcating timeline adventures that began in the preceding volume。 The Surprise of Haruhi Suzumiya continues to split the story's action into two parts or timelines that eventually reunite in a somewhat confusing manner， though the paradoxes and confusion of time are common themes to Tanigawa's series。 The characters of the Anti-SOS Brigade and their motivations are explored more fully， and the reader gets a more detailed explorat The final volume in the hit Haruhi Suzumiya series concludes the bifurcating timeline adventures that began in the preceding volume。 The Surprise of Haruhi Suzumiya continues to split the story's action into two parts or timelines that eventually reunite in a somewhat confusing manner， though the paradoxes and confusion of time are common themes to Tanigawa's series。 The characters of the Anti-SOS Brigade and their motivations are explored more fully， and the reader gets a more detailed exploration of the world Kyon and the SOS Brigade inhabit - one where all manner of various factions， groups， and even aliens are all interested in the irascible Miss Suzumiya。 Of particular enjoyment was the detailing of the relationships between the SOS Brigade's rivals and their own opinions on Haruhi。 In both timelines in the novel， Haruhi is noticeably absent and thus the reader gets more time with Koizumi， Asahina， and Kyon （not to mention the Anti-SOS Brigade）。The characters are all prone to extensive monologues on their positions regarding Haruhi or their own philosophies - this is interesting but sometimes the narrative gets bogged down。 Also， it is required that the reader is acquainted or has re-read recently the previous novel in the series - The Dissociation of Haruhi Suzumiya - otherwise events and characters are either unclear or unknown。 This notwithstanding， the final volume is a fitting conclusion to the series even if it ends， as customary with Tanigawa， with the promise of many more adventures to come。 。。。more

To truly enjoy this book， you need to have read The Dissociation。。。。 That being said， I thought it was a nice way to wrap things up。 There were a few hints at what was to come， but I wasn't left feeling as though I needed those stories to be written。 As a fan， I'd love to read more adventures， but it seems like it was time to end it。 To truly enjoy this book， you need to have read The Dissociation。。。。 That being said， I thought it was a nice way to wrap things up。 There were a few hints at what was to come， but I wasn't left feeling as though I needed those stories to be written。 As a fan， I'd love to read more adventures， but it seems like it was time to end it。 。。。more
