I know it got a lot of praise, but I couldn't help but feel the English translation of Girl with the Dragon Tattoo was a bit awkward. Among the instances I distinctly remember, the phrase "boy toy" was used in some fairly awkward ways. While the awkwardness might be intentional or a failing of the original author, it accompanied some very alien-sounding prose that always made me feel it was a product of the translation.
