"El Túnel" brinda una experiencia de lectura satisfactoria, pero no alcanza la grandeza. La narrativa es cautivadora, explorando las complejidades de la obsesión y las relaciones humanas, aunque le falta la intensidad envolvente que eleva una historia a la categoría de grandiosa. En algunos momentos resulta inquietante, y destaca por su buena escritura, pero su impacto general podría dejar a los lectores esperando una mayor profundidad y resonancia emocional. Es una lectura sólida con destellos de brillantez, pero no llega al pináculo de la literatura verdaderamente inolvidable.

Formidable, si el significado de la palabra formidable se asemejara a lo que su pronunciación evoca.

‘the tunnel' is a novel about madness and existentialism that dives the reader into the dark and demented mind of juan pablo castan as he describes the events leading up the murder he committed against maria ibarne, a woman he becomes obsessed with after discovering she is the sole person who is able to comprehend him.
