I loved Simak's ideas and the way he presented them, but the man couldn't end a novel worth a damn which always left me frustrated. It's gotten to the point where I approach a new Carroll novel nervously, almost certain of feeling disappointed when I get to the end for all the wonderful journey to get there. Happily, Outside the Dog Museum shows a return to form. Everything works up to the conclusion and while it's not laid out tidily for us, we get enough information to work it out for ourselves.
