Sometimes when you leave a book -- or any work of art -- angry, disturbed, frustrated by the lack of any answers, you are exactly where the artist wants you to be. That is the precise aim of a whole branch of the avant-garde. There is nothing wrong with having a book for teenagers which achieves that result, rather than the more familiar one of supplying emotional or intellectual closure..
