This starts well with witty scholarly dialog and clever amusing Siamese cats, but the ending is not as satisfying. Spoiler Warning: I do not believe that a graduate student would suppress a significant scholarly discover just to finish his thesis more quickly. Grated, he could get one particular job by finishing early, he should have known that he could probably get a better job by finishing a strong thesis. From what I have seen, it would be reasonable for the college hiring him to wait for the thesis. ( )
