Rating: 5
Author: Alex T

By John Scalzi

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.

Full Moon

Published by Alex T , 10 days ago

Scalzi does it again. This is a fun trip to a scary end of the world scenario. Scalzi shines in making characters. In this book there is no main character. It is told from different perspectives from college students, to Hollywood Studios and writers. The first half of the book had me laughing and crying so much. The second half was a thrill ride to a big conclusion. Joins Kaiju Preservation Society and Starter Villain as a fun standalone book.

Crazy cheesy fun!

This is an entertaining book on the whimiscal question of what if the moon was made of cheese? In this case, it turns into cheese quite unexpectedly which makes everyone go wild with theories and actions. Each chapter is usually from the viewpoint of a different group and how they handle this strange development. You get some whacky stunts that I laughed so hard at, from billionaires racing to be the first to try this special "moon" cheese, to producers vetting new movie ideas (like "No Whey Home"). Those were a couple of my favorite chapters though there are loads more hilarious stunts! And of course it wouldn't be complete without the panic of a possible Fromaggedon! I also like how each chapter was a new phase of the moon, ending with the lunar eclipse. So, no this is not a deep thinking novel. It is supremely fun and what with each chapter being a different group, it was like reading a bunch of connected short stories. John Scalzi is my go to for his wonderfully written funny novels and this one is another winner! Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for giving me the chance to read this totally entertaining and crazy fun book!
