内容説明
What if you woke up one morning, and everything changed?
It's one week before Christmas Eve, and Haruhi and the S.O.S. Brigade (a club for her high school's strangest and most extraordinary students) are gearing up for holiday festivities. But just before the fun kicks off, Kyon, the only "normal" member, wakes up in a weird alternate dimension, one where Haruhi attends another school entirely, Nagato the time traveling robot is just an ordinary human, and Mikuru (the cute girl of Kyon's dreams) doesn't even recognize him-in other words, S.O.S. Brigade never existed.
The only clue Kyon can find is a bookmark left by the robot version of Nagato, which leads him on a quest back in time, where he interacts with the storyline from "Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody", a short story from the previous Haruhi book, The Boredom of Haruhi Suzumiya.
This fun and quirky holiday tale is reminiscent of A Christmas Carol and It's a Wonderful Life.

A Return to Glory
2010/10/23
形式:ハードカバー|Amazonが確認した購入
After two decidedly mediocre novels, Haruhi Suzumiya returns in a fourth installment that finally approaches the quality of author Nagaru Tanigawa's brilliant original. In a "It's a Wonderful Life" style twist, poor Kyon awakes one morning to a world mysteriously different from the one he left the night before. Among other things, his SOS Brigade friends no longer recognize him, Haruhi no longer goes to his school, and everyone and everything appears to be...normal! And the plot thickens from there.
The beauty of this story is how effectively it works on different levels. In one sense, it's a mystery, with the reader following Kyon as he searches for the cause behind his predicament. But it's also a tale of self-discovery for Kyon as he realizes, perhaps too late, the value of what he once had. And finally, it's a work of philosophy and moral complexity, as Kyon must ultimately choose whether to help convert the world back to its original state or simply leave well enough alone. Of course, the series' humor, romantic innuendo, and quantum conundrums also return, adding extra spice to an already engrossing tale. Even the translation work seems improved over previous installments.
That said, fans expecting a work of sheer hilarity will not find one here. While there are still some chuckles to be had, this story is an altogether more somber work than what the series has previously seen. Furthermore, the story's heavy emphasis on time-traveling leave it open to certain plot holes that are never explained to complete satisfaction. And lastly, the book concludes with a long-winded finale that still somehow manages, intentionally or not, to leave certain questions unanswered. Fortunately, these complaints are but nitpicks in an otherwise sublime read.
The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya is a fine purchase for any fan of the franchise. The only real pity is that, as a light novel, it's a ride that ends all too soon.

Kyon rhymes with John.

In The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya Kyon not only narrates the volume, as he does all of them, but takes the central role. As the title suggests Haruhi has disappeared. Kyon must figure out the mystery and decided how, and ultimately if he should fix it. This isn't a novel you should start with if you haven't read any of the stories before, as it refers back to all three of the previous novels. Mr. Tanigawa has done an exceptional job of making a these stories overlap and mesh together while keeping the reader completely involved and wanting to turn the next page.
This book as well as the first three (The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, The Sigh of Haruhi Suzumiya and the The Boredom of Haruhi Suzumiya) are quick and fun to read and I highly recommend the whole series, although this is my favorite so far. I am also highly anticipating the movie that is based on this fourth light novel.

Far better than the previous volume!!

I wasn't all that thrilled with the last book in this series, so I took a long break from reading the light novels just so I could clear my head. I have to admit that if I hadn't already had this book sitting on my shelf, I might not have started back in on the series but now I'm glad that I have. This book was far better than book three was.
What I liked most about this entry was that it addressed the idea of what would happen if Haruhi was never around. Would Kyon really be enjoying his life? Would he still be able to be around the well-endowed Asahina? What would Haruhi be like? I'm glad to say that this book showed a pretty entertaining view of another world and that it's much more engaging and fun than the previous book.
The only downfall is that due to the typical light novel length, the story didn't go into as much detail as I'd want. The alternate world does give us a great look into the main characters, but only a brief one. I kind of wouldn't mind seeing more of that world and how the characters would interact with one another. (Here's hoping that world gets a spin off much like the Evangelion series has spun off of its alternate universes.)
If you're like me and have been sitting on the fence about this book, it's worth reading and diving into the series again. If you're a fan then you've probably already got this book or have it on order. If not, then this is something you've got to have.
