It took me, what, a year? to read this mystery in Norwegian (translated from the Swedish). It's dispiriting to read every sentence of a quick thriller like this. You really see the repetitions & filler. If I'd been reading it in English, I would have given up early on or raced through, but I don't have access to that many books in Norwegian, especially paperbacks, so I stuck it out.
I READ A WHOLE NOVEL IN NORWEGIAN! Jeg leste en hel roman på norsk!
