One thing that really struck me about the chapter titles was that there were several titles reading: 'The Death Of (insert name here)'. Whilst it does give away the story, I think it gives the overall story a sense of desperation - the regular deaths of various characters, each one marked in a title, emphasizing the ultimately depressing ending.
