With quirky characters and hilarious dialogue, theres no doubt that The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya will be a hit in America, just as it was in Japan. The characters were all well developed and definitely not stereotypical. The plot was great; it was full of twists and turns that I barely saw coming. It held me from beginning to end, never ceasing to enthrall me as I turned page after page, always excited for what would happen next. On top of everything, the dialogue was hilarious. I connected with Kyons sarcasm and this was one of the few books that actually caused me to laugh out loud. I recommend this book for ages 13 and up because there is some sexual content.  The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya by Nagaru Tanigawa is great for fantasy lovers. Even those who tend to avoid fantasy wont be overwhelmed and will easily be able to enjoy this wonderful piece of work. I cant wait for the next installment in the story of the S.O.S. Brigade as they join Haruhi and her hilarious antics in the quest for all things mysterious.
