Description

New York Times bestselling author John Scalzi flies you to the moon with his most fantastic tale to date: When the Moon Hits Your Eye The moon has turned into cheese. Now humanity has to deal with it. For some it’s an opportunity. For others it’s a moment to question their faith: In God, in science, in everything. Still others try to keep the world running in the face of absurdity and uncertainty. And then there are the billions looking to the sky and wondering how a thing that was always just there is now... something absolutely impossible. Astronauts and billionaires, comedians and bank executives, professors and presidents, teenagers and terminal patients at the end of their lives -- over the length of an entire lunar cycle, each get their moment in the moonlight. To panic, to plan, to wonder and to pray, to laugh and to grieve. All in a kaleidoscopic novel that goes all the places you’d expect, and then to so many places you wouldn’t. It’s a wild moonage daydream. Ride this rocket. Read more

    • Really strange, not much science, but absolutely fantastic!
Format: Kindle
Perhaps one of the most unusual SciFi books I’ve come across. Truly fun, easy read, great writing, and a very strange sense of humor. Be sure to pay attention to names of people, places, and businesses. Plenty of subtle chuckles. Don’t expect anything actually resembling science (other than a couple factual references to modern day items). That should not be a problem. When you get to Day Twenty-One, be prepared for some of the most beautiful and meaningful philosophical prose written recently. It starts strange, but finishes with thoughts and comments that I did not expect, and found exquisite. This is the second amazing book from Mr. Scalizi that I’ve read. Really on my ‘Favorite Writer’ list. ... show more

    • Not just fun sci-fi
Format: Audible Audiobook
Fun and quirky sci-fi that gets you pondering a lot about current events and the state of the world. Highly entertaining as well as insightful. Only 4 stars because 5 stars should be reserved for Pulitzer / Booker level books so I'm trying not to hand that extra star out lightly. I thoroughly enjoyed this novel. ... show more

    • Does the world come together, or not, to respond to this unprecedented celestial event?
Format: Kindle
This book started off as an interesting tale of science fiction with the moon turning into cheese and people examining all the rocks that had been collected by Apollo astronauts that housed at NASA and at museums across the country. I couldn't imagine a reasonable ending to this story and I suspect the author also found it difficult. I guess one is left with the question "What would I do if a totally unnatural phenomenon turned up in the world? How would I respond? How would all the countries of the world — friends and enemies — respond? Would they come together to try to solve the problem or not?" To me that was the most interesting part of the book. ... show more

    • unbelievable story
Format: Kindle
At first I thought this was a hoax. The science was Hokies and did make since but I went along for the ride. I’m glad I did. One to enjoy.

    • Not at all what I expected!
Format: Kindle
The title and premise are funny; the execution is not. It's serious and as scientifically accurate as possible, given the premise. The book is primarily a collection of short stories written in different styles and voices. Many of the characters you will meet only once. Much of the book reminded me of The Last Policeman by Ben Winters. You may, like me, enjoy some of the stories more than others. Feel free to skip a chapter in that case. It's a very readable book that will probably leave you wishing it were longer. ... show more

    • Great story, great storytelling.
Format: Audible Audiobook
Great story, told well. John Scalzi writes a terrific tale, with humor, and uncommon combination in science fiction. And Will Wheaton is the perfect narrator for Scalzi's work, his training and experience as an actor makes Scalzi's work come alive in a very entertaining way. Wonderful stuff.

    • Classic Scalzi
Format: Kindle
Every great story begins with a "what if". The what if, the moon turned to cheese question is expertly explored here by John Scalzi. The separate but sometimes overlapping stories of people and how they deal with this unexpected and life changing event that was riveting and often times hilarious. If you are a fan of Scalzi's other work I'm sure you will enjoy this as well. ... show more

    • You won’t believe your eyes!
Format: Hardcover
Huge thank you to Tor Publishing Group for providing this book for review consideration via NetGalley. All opinions are my own. If you want your sci fi books to start with elementary school moon fact, boy have I got the book for you! All jokes aside, what can you expect when you crack open a John Scalzi book? In his latest novel he posits what would happen if the moon was actually turned into cheese. If you guessed you’d be laughing within the first few pages, you’d be right. The novel opens with Virgil Augustine who runs in a space and astronaut museum in Ohio. All seems normal until it’s discovered a slice of coveted moon rock has been stolen and a dupe left in its place. Or so he thinks. Not stolen exactly, but changed. Into cheese. In fact, every single lunar sample on Earth is now cheese, including the moon itself. What, you may ask yourself, does that mean for Earth? As it turns out, a lot. We follow a timeline rather than a set group of protagonists, each chapter marking the days since the moon was made cheese, or rather an organic matrix, I mean. As each day ticks by, we see the impacts unfold on society. We get to see a few characters more than once, which sounds like it would be exhausting. I can assure you it’s not. Each chapter lays bare exactly what Americans would be doing when the moon turns to cheese in the most authentic way. I zipped through this book. Even at the halfway point I couldn’t believe at how wrapped into this I was. I enjoyed the humor, the real people from all walks of life, and the cheese puns. You can’t be mad at the sheer scope of cheese puns, it’s truly a work of art. Scalzi excels in writing laugh-out-loud dialogue with his characters. They are believable, human, and made for TV. I lost count of the times I would cackle out loud reading this. There were also more than a few times I found myself tearing up. Scalzi paints the full picture of being human in the face of an existential crisis, along with all the beautiful and ugly emotions that come with it. Long story short, pick this book up and devour it. I promise you, it’s Gouda. ... show more
