When the Moon Hits Your Eye

It happened one day. The moon, somehow, transformed into cheese. No one knew why or how. An event this big cannot be ignored, no matter how deep of a basement one exists in. What happens after ranges from acceptance to utter chaos. Some call it a miracle; some question their faith, and others question their existence. And some just want a taste of moon cheese. But with an event this big, no one ignored lunacy.

When the Moon Hits Your Eye is a brilliantly hilarious glimpse into human nature by John Scalzi. As typical of his work, this novel is jam-packed with notable and outlandish characters, engaging and straightforward dialogue, and Scalzi’s diabolical wit. The deeper the reader gets into this book, the cheesier things get (Pun intended), much like the idea of the moon being made of cheese. But Scalzi is not just an author of off-beat and comic works. Like Vonnegut and Douglas Adams, Scalzi uses his writing as a satirical look into the social and political climate. No matter one’s opinion of the snackable dairy product, fans of sci-fi with a biting commentary will agree with Dean Martin when he sings When the Moon Hits Your Eye.
