Swedish writer reviews book that didn't exist

A book review in the Swedish paper, Helsingborgs Dagblad, was less than flattering about Britt Marie Mattsson's new novel Fruktans Makt (The Power of Fear), calling it "predictable" and full of one-dimensional characters. More like no-dimensional characters, in fact, because it had never been published. Now Kristian Lundberg has been fired as the paper's reviewer, though his editor did add that he might still commission creative pieces from him. Fair enough, he certainly is creative.
