La sorpresa de Haruhi Suzumiya - Parte dos
No esperaba que existiera un alumno de primer año capaz de aprobar el examen extremadamente dificil que su excelencia preparó para aquellos que aspiraran a unirse a la Brigada SOS. De todas maneras, no puedo negar que me siento feliz de tener a alguien a quien pasar mis odiosas tareas de la brigada, asi que no deberia tener razones para quejarme. Sin embargo, Sasaki y las demás no han vuelto a aparecer desde aquel incómodo reencuentro del que Haruhi fue testigo, y eso me da mala espina. ¿Qué me está queriendo decir mi excepcional sexto sentido? ¡Llega la última entrega de esta exitosa serie!

Honestly, anything that involved the new character ended up being pretty predictable, but luckily the formula was still creative and well written, so as much as it couldn't have been any surprises, I still felt relieved to read something decent.
I would say that the writing bent well, giving its little subtleties to indicate ignorance to something new, which while in the reader's view it was something obvious, it didn't serve as those annoying mystery novels where the author was always one step ahead of the reader, because things merge and merge in such a confusing and complex way that you don't really know where everything is going
Although I have my criticisms regarding the constructed mystery, the other works with less construction expanded the creativity of the script where the terms "in prohibition" begin to walk towards a more concise and liberating straight, allowing the reader's mind to fly between the organizations in search for a decisive result
We certainly have some conveniences in terms of danger or gravity (as well as a girl right next to a certain window), but honestly, I chose to ignore them this time and just follow the fun, conspiratorial vibe of the script, which I liked a lot.
Thank you, SOS brigade, your fame is remarkable, so you have certainly fulfilled your duty to spread the pandemic of smiles around the world (yes, the pleonasm was on purpose).... I mean, if mother nature can oppose us humans with the creation of a virus, why couldn't we do the same to oppose world sorrow?
Yes... You may have let me down a lot, but I definitely feel happy for this ending.

"Koizumi se encogió de hombros-, pero claro, no tengo ni idea de qué hacer con la princesa capturada del otro lado de la ventana. ¿O sí?"
Ha sido épico. Todo se ha precipitado (de buena manera) en este libro y ha sido increíble. Finalmente, el confrontamiento de la brigada SOS y la anti-brigada, la resolución de Kyon y la propia Haruhi haciendo de las suyas a su fiel estilo. Cada personaje apariciendo en el momento ideal y resolviendo las cosas de manera excepcional. ¡Incluyendo al avatar!
"Yo no tengo ningún hermano. Del mismo modo, mi versión que es hermana tuya no existe. Las historias perdidas, las personas perdidas, no pueden regresar jamás"
Si bien muchas cosas se han aclarado y también hay una perspectiva futura positiva, hay nuevas tramas que han surgido y que espero que Nagaru Tanigawa llegue a desarrollar (¡por favor!). La autonomía de Kuyoh, el objeto raro que posee Tsuruya (la misma naturaleza de Tsuruya), la estructura en la organización de Koizumi, las intenciones de Asahina adulta (más enredado ahora que nunca) y el guiño al futuro de Kyon y Haruhi.
"Cuando corrió las cortinas y miró hacia abajo, vio que la luz de la calle iluminaba tres figuras frente a la casa. No había duda de quiénes eran. Se trataba de Asahina la joven, Koizumi y Nagato"
El final ha sido mucho más bonito de lo que recordaba. Tan bien cuidado y tan especial. Que la brigada SOS dure mucho tiempo más, por favor.

A beautiful,and touching ending for a series.
I mean, it's a strange feeling, I hope the story of SOS can be continuing, but also hope this book is the end, because after you read this, you will probably got a feeling which just like watch "Toy Story 3".

雖然眾人的自我思辨太長篇大論了(古泉化), 但阿法貝塔確實是很精巧的構思~

Thrilling, emotional, funny, and last but not least funny. This is everything I could have asked from the finale of Haruhi Suzumyia and more.

The much-awaited finale to the Haruhi Suzumiya series certainly did not disappoint it's hardcore fans. The Surprise of Haruhi Suzumiya picks up where The Dissociation of Haruhi Suzumiya left off. In the second part of this book, we see the two alpha and beta timelines. Much of the first half of the book is slow-paced and basically building up of the second half. It seems like a bore until you reach the second half where all the action happens.
Fans of this series would have already guessed that the concurrent timelines would merge later into the book, but the situation at that time takes you by surprise. I found the Kyon rambling on much more in this book than all the rest, especially in the first half, but as I said before it's all building up to the events in the second half. Considering I was reading an English translation, it may not have the same effect as that of the original Japanese version However, since my Japanese is not that good yet to read entire novels, I'll have to be content with the English version for now. The phrases and analogies in this series are all quite peculiar - Nagaru Tanigawa sure shows quite depth in his characters and their personalities.
The story had a good climax - there was resolution (somewhat) of the claim by the rival Sky Canopy Domain (that's what it's name was in the translated version but I suppose it must be cooler sounding in Japanese) over who should possess Haruhi's god-like powers. Personally, I felt Sasaki would be a better candidate to hold them but then if she did, there would be no story. Haruhi does make things interesting and fact that till the end she is ignorant (consciously) f her powers is not ideal but good nevertheless. I liked the interesting bit about Yasumi Watahashi and Fujiwara. Although, I would have loved more back-story about the event that Fujiwara refers to, alas, it didn't come. Anyways, I hope that Tanigawa publishes a short story about the history between Fuijwara and Asahina sometime in the future. I must also mention that certain little pieces of the story made me quite happy with Tanigawa - the future that Kyon jumps to where he meets a grown-up Haruhi (I like the fact that Kyon is around her even then - I totally ship them), Tsuruya (possibly) calling Kyon by his real name and Taniguchi's hilarious account of his brief romance with Kyou.
While I am happy with the final book of the series, the open ending of the finale sure makes me hope for any further additions to the series.

Finalmente acaba la incertidumbre sobre la dualidad de la historia. Realmente fue una liberación total de la imaginación. Desde el inicio de esta serie de libros (los cuales tristemente no he leído, ya que me salté desde el animé hacia las novelas... Pero que leeré próximamente) se vio una historia totalmente nueva, con un sistema de personajes novedoso (que realmente ha funcionado y otros proyectos han imitado), con un punto de vista bastante inusual y finalmente con un narrador personaje-pseudoprotagonista. Al iniciar a leerlas, costó un poco ponerse bien dentro de los pies de Kyon, ya que sus diálogos no estaban delimitados, pero una vez tomado el ritmo de ellos fue poniendo más y más interesante. Debo decir si que hubo algunos capítulos que no fueron del mejor material posible, pero no importa, todo tenía su razón ser, y así lo demostró el último libro. La unión "interdimensional" fue llevada de forma excelente (de hecho, mientras leía iba pensado "a lo mejor se van a encontrar y queda la cagá", incluso a pesar de haberlo "predicho", se superaron realmente las expectativas. Y el último disparo a esta mente fue la explicación final de Koizumi sobre el anagrama formado por esta proyección de nuestra querida protagonista. Ahora los sentimientos realmente son por una parte de alegría por la historia contada, pero por otro lado una cierta decepción por el final. Sí yo también esperaba un desenlace más o menos cerrado, o que por lo menos se fusionaran las líneas futuras de los personajes en algún término amoroso (sí, soy toda una nena ¿y qué?). Pero no importa, la diversión llegó, y la Brigada cumplió su cometido.

English title: The Surprise of Haruhi Suzumiya Part 2
The latest but not last volume in the Haruhi Suzumiya saga continues directly from Book 10. In the Alpha timeline, the SOS Brigade is going about its everyday business while training new recruit Yasumi Watahashi, and everything seems absolutely normal. But over in the Beta line, Yuki is still incapacitated from the Sky Canopy Dominion's attempt to communicate and Kyon is trying to deal with the triple threat of Fujiwara, Tachibana and Kuyou Suou.
Being the last book of the Dissociation/Surprise trilogy, everything's wrapped up here in a mostly satisfying manner. I'm a bit disappointed that we didn't get to see the fight between Fujiwara and Koizumi or the IDSE interfaces go against Kuyou again, and the explanation of Fujiwara's future hurts my brain -- I think I understand the model of time travel Tanagawa is using, but there are so many unstated assumptions about how things work, and this volume just adds ambiguity.
The ending resolves all the major plotlines from the last three books while setting hooks for the next volume. Personally I'm hoping for another short story collection dealing with things like the flower viewing, Kyon's school reunion (more Sasaki please), and maybe some romance between Tsuruya and Kunikida. Hopefully Tanagawa won't take two years this time.

Edición española distribuida también en Argentina. Novela 11, La sorpresa 2 de 2; traduce los capítulos 7 al 10 (final) más Epílogo y Palabras finales.
