Characters behave in nonsensical ways, dialogue is often stilted, meaningless, or just plain bizarre, minor characters are described in far too much detail, the main character makes startlingly correct assumptions based on little or no evidence. There's enough of a plot to carry the reader through to the end, but why this author has been successful is the biggest mystery of all. Perhaps the English translation is the problem. Surely the Swedish culture isn't as oddball as this novel would make them appear.
