It’s overly sexual even when it’s not necessary for the plot or to understand the characters. Some relationships and their sexual activities made me extremely uncomfortable. I wish the women in this book had more of a role than just being there to pleasure the guy.
But I like Murakamis way of writing and there is always something or someone to relate to (even when it’s just in one line).
