Snowblind by Ragnar Jónasson
2.0

I must admit that I did not get very far into Ragnar Jonasson's Snowblind before giving up on it. I chose it for the Iceland stop on my Around the World in 80 Books project, and was really looking forward to it. I had issues from the very start with the translation, however; the writing seemed very clunky and matter-of-fact. I also wasn't gripped by the opening chapter, and could not muster enough interest in the story to overcome these two elements.
