Epileptic Trees: What the hell does Allende's response mean? What was Maria's real job? Who are the ones Castel is referring to at the end?
Everybody Is Jesus in Purgatory: In spades.
Germans Love David Hasselhoff: The novel is particularly popular among teenagers and college freshman. A mild case of Misaimed Fandom mixed with This Loser Is You due to Castel's rather teen-like, Yandere mentality.
Nightmare Fuel: All Maria did was to look Castel's drawing and understand the meaning of a little scene. Months later she is murdered by Castel.
Paranoia Fuel: Castel being the Stalker with a Crush per excellence, some women find the novel especially disturbing.
True Art Is Angsty
What an Idiot!: Maria, did you really not see Juan Pablo appearing with a knife coming? Every single reunion between the two had a massive "THIS WILL ABSOLUTELY NOT END WELL" written all over it. Hell, Castel at different points acted like a textbook example of the murderer stalker, because HE IS THE TEXTBOOK EXAMPLE OF THE MURDERER STALKER. It is not hard to tell, really.
