* DarknessInducedAudienceApathy: This is a common complaint that people have about the book. For some, the ending doesn't make all of the bad things that happened worth it. Depending on how you see it, Maria's CharacterDevelopment was for better or for worse and while many see her as a sympathetic person, others are unable to like her enough by the end.



* ValuesDissonance: A few characters are shown throwing slurs around and/or expressing bigoted sentiments. This WAS the sixties, after all.

* JerkassWoobie: BZ stands out as one of the most sympathetic characters in the story despite how he treats Helene. There is arguably more humanity in the chapter where he dies than there is in all of the other chapters combined.
