[1] The moon transforms into an unstable organic, cheese-like material, along with all previously retrieved lunar samples.

"[2] Publishers Weekly highlights how the novel's "ridiculous premise—what if the moon actually was made of cheese?—is treated with a straight face in [a] cleverly entertaining sci-fi romp," noting that "Scalzi’s ability to balance scathing satire with heartfelt optimism shines.

"[3] Marlene Harris in Library Journal observes that the "story isn't really about the moon; it's all about the reactions to it--what people think and feel and write and especially do when something fundamental to their understanding of the world changes in the blink of an eye, and they just have to cope."
