Miss Smilla's Feeling for Snow - Peter Hoeg

So I finally finished this book on the weekend! Absolute garbage! Ok, so maybe I am uncultured and missed the subtle beauty in the imagery of the prose, but I thought it was crap, ok? I can cope with a book not having a clear outcome, I can cope with violence and sex in a book, but some of it was just completely out of left field and made no sense.
It just went on and on about nothing, about characters that would turn up, say something mystifying and then disappear, maybe to be referred to later in the book, maybe not. I admit that part of the reason it was tricky to follow is that a lot of the names were Danish, Inuit or Greenlandic, so it was difficult to determine masculine and feminine, but I think if a book grabs you enough, you manage to work around that, but I just could not manage it in this book.
I think it turned up in a pile of books given to me by a friend who was moving house. If anyone would like it, please take it off my hands and see if you can make any sense of it!
