I love when science fiction is goofy and just down for a good time, and that's why John Scalzi is one of my favorite authors. When the Moon Hits Your Eye was such a fun read and I love that it fits so well with his last few standalone novels. I think we've all wondered what would happen if the moon turned to cheese, and Scalzi lets us explore this reality. It's so fun that we see it from many different points of view including the president, NASA, and other government agencies, as well as just regular people. Scalzi's books always feel so cinematic and this was no exception. (I'm begging someone to turn one of his books into a movie finally!) The writing is also very snappy and was absolutely making me giggle and kick my feet. I honestly can't wait for other to get to read this book. John Scalzi is a staple in accessible scifi and I will be shouting about this book to anyone who will listen.

Thank you Tor and NetGalley for the ARC!
