It's the weakest part for me (but then that other wild woman is a wonderful character and perfect complement to Logen). The pleasure of reading his chapters was about the image I got of him. Big and blunt. Stereotypically stupid, but not that simple kind of stupidity.
Logen is incredibly smart. Sharp mind. But he just has a different culture, so he looks stupid to those other people, but he isn't at all. And there's this double image we get of him. Himself in his POV and then the reflection of himself in the faces of the people. And plenty of resulting laughs from those little conflicts (like when he eats the flowers during the dinner).
His dialogues are superb. Two words and he said everything.
