Praise of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya:
"The definitely on and at times over-the-edge craziness, reminiscent of period Japanese monster movies, will appeal to readers who delight in mayhem and mischief at the brink of reality--in high school."
-- VOYA

"Kyon's narration is beautifully physical, effectively evoking a manga aesthetic of robot fights and giant monsters."
-- Kirkus

"The novel version makes for a light and fun read which should encourage anyone who has not already seen the anime version to check it out."
--Anime News Network

"Those who get into Kyon's woe-is-me narration will be entertained."
-- Publishers Weekly

Rave reviews for the DVD release:
"Most shows would not have the cojones to feature a character like this as the lead, but rather, as comic relief."
--- T.H.E.M Anime Reviews

"Riotously funny anime."
