Mastodonia

This was a decent book. It was short, as many of Simak's books are, but it could have been longer. It follows a man who stumbles across time travel via an alien in rural Wisconsin. It has two of Simak's major recurring themes, the clash of the rural vs the urban and the benevolent alien. The prose is wonderful, as it is in many of the books of his I've read. The plot is decent, but this is where I felt it suffered because of the length. The end feels rushed. But I enjoyed it overall, as I do all his rural setting stories.
