With the actions of MC cooking while the reader learns, through his thoughts and the TV what is going on, it's very visual. It leaves me wondering what happens next to Lyle and the world.

It wasn't hard to get in this guy's head, a sign of good character development. The descriptions really pulled me in, made me a little hungry.

Organic compounds inside crystal shells--are lunids some kind of egg? If so, why are they falling as a result of lunar mining? If not, why is Lyle making omelettes out of them? Why are we told twice that the mixing bowl is glass before he shatters it? Why is Lyle sitting out on the deck when fist-sized hard objects are whizzing from space? I know he can't hear them, but seems to me like they could do his skull some damage. I shouldn't have to work so hard to understand a story.

The beginning was a little confusing, but once I figured out what was going on, I really liked it. I especially enjoyed reading about a deaf character -- there aren't enough of those in fiction these days. It's an interesting perspective. And it was awesome that something most people would see as a disability became his saving grace. Very cool! Interesting story.
