The Wavering of Haruhi Suzumiya by Nagaru Tanigawa
3.0
I would've rated this around 2 stars if it hadn't for the Live Alive short story in this volume. I really like how Suzumiya went YOLO at the cultural festival, somehow enjoying herself. And that itself proves that she is STILL a human being able to enjoy simple things in life.
Live Alive — is really fun to read much less like the other short stories read. On the other hand, much like how I can grasp Suzumiya, Koizumi, Nagato's characterization, the same cannot be said to the other two SOS Brigade members. I couldn't care less about Asahina anyway, more like she turned a mascot more than a time-travelling one.
I'm going to point out again, Kyon is really annoying, together with his hormones. I'd like to give the quotation I highlighted from the novel, "I shrugged, letting Haruhi’s overlong philosophy of romance go in one ear and out the other. Sorry—if Asahina’s boyfriend turned out to be a loser, I don’t care how happy she seemed, I wasn’t confident I’d be able to be happy for her. I might even try to interfere. I don’t think anybody could blame me, though." — Kyon. This is problematic, his ideals and his hormones. This statement is one in many that really ticked me off and making his personality and character really ugly.
