I definitely agree with you. Aside from the frequency of sexual sections, they're just written really poorly. Maybe there's something lost in translation... Who knows! I'm pretty sure Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki was on the short-list for the 'Bad Sex in Fiction' award. That being said, I did enjoy it and would recommend both that and Kafka on the Shore if you're interested in more Murakami.
