It's a whole new moooooon.
One day soon, suddenly and without explanation, the moon as we know it is replaced with an orb of cheese with the exact same mass. Through the length of an entire lunar cycle, from new moon to a spectacular and possibly final solar eclipse, we follow multiple characters -- schoolkids and scientists, billionaires and workers, preachers and politicians -- as they confront the strange new world they live in, and the absurd, impossible moon that now hangs above all their lives.
Well, what did I expect? The book does exactly what it says on the tin: imagine what would happen if the moon suddenly turned into cheese.
While it does have it's lengths in the middle, the beginning and the end are quite entertaining to read.
This novel is a writing exercise. How would people in the US react if the moon suddenly turned into cheese?
This setup works very well with Scalzi's, What the Fuck and Fuck you style of humor.
Things start to get more dramatic towards the end and I would have preferred a different ending.
