When the Moon Hits Your Eye

De: John Scalzi

Narrado por: Wil Wheaton

New York Times bestseller 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.

Buyer's Remorse

It's not bad, but I didn't enjoy it nearly as much as I thought I would, and I regret spending a credit on it instead of something more enjoyable. I'm typically a fan of Scalzi's work, but this one seemed to drag. I kept waiting for it to get really good, and it never did. And while I also typically enjoy Wil Wheaton narrating Scalzi's books, it didn't work for this book. The whole thing just feels off. I wish I liked it more, and I'm really sad that I don't.

Another Extraordinarily Fun read from Scalzi

Only John Scalzi can take such a far-fetched premise as the Moon turning to cheese, and actually make it fun, funny, believable and still deliver a timely message. As always, much to fast a read, but that's how he keeps us wanting more. Bravo John!

Some how the plot works

I really enjoyed it. Its not my favorite book he has ever done. But i will definitely listen to a few more times. It would have been 5 stars except for the ending. I will not give anything away.

Great time!

I look forward to every new Scalzi book, and this one did not disappoint! Laughs, crazy situations, and wacky reactions abound!. I loved his "every man trilogy" - thank you, John Scalzi

Different

There isn’t much of an overarching plot. Reads more like a collection of short stories. Some of the stories are great. Will’s performance was excellent.

The cheese-ening!

This is really funny and witty.
No one is ready for the cheese-aggedon!!!
it's a total cheese-pocalypse!

People interacting with each other with compassion.

Another great collection of people dealing with a world that does not always make sense. Hopeful, empathetic, hilarious.

Another fantastic read

So much fun, the different points of view on different days was such a great method that got me out of my reading slump. Thank you sir for continuing to put out these great books

The Moon is now cheese?

I don't know what's happened. Scalzi has evolved in his writing in a why I just don't really enjoy anymore? will Wright's narration is now almost childish and hammed to the point of being kind of annoying. I guess this genre just isn't for me as anymore.

Meh

Scalzi is one of my favorite writers. This was just not up to his usual brilliance. Too many characters, too many loose threads, and the central event walked right past unusual and took up residence in ridiculous territory.

Wheaton was excellent as always.
