Book: When The Moon Hits Your Eye

 Book: When The Moon Hits Your Eye

Author: John Scalzi

Pages: 336


This is my 86th read for the year

What Amazon Says:
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 momentin 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.  

This book is great.  I am a Scalzi fan and the more books I read by him, the happier I am that I found him.  He is a terrific writer.  He is clever, and funny, and his sci fi and just all around entertaining.  They aren't hard reads and I like his character development and story telling.  He can jam pack a story into 300-400 pages and keep you wanting to read without stopping.  He takes a lot of unrelated stories in the various stories which all revolve around the moon turning to cheese and what they were going to do about it.  Read it in two days and look forward to his next book.
