Query: Amazing Visuals, Weak Story

I'd like to give this book 4.5 stars if possible.The artwork is disturbing and effective. I'm less impressed with the story, especially the central idea of a disfiguring illness affecting teenagers. This lends itself to horrific imagery, which is masterfully drawn. It's a good metaphor for fears about sexual disease and alienation. However, as a narrative element it's too fantastic for my tastes.Why are teenagers allowed to walk about looking like "Dawn of the Dead" extras? There's no involvement of doctors, teachers, or parents. Kids turn ugly, then go to live in the woods. A reader has to buy into this conceit, and I couldn't.For me, the ghoulish visuals and the frequent nudity weaken the message about teens growing up. Alienation is a complex topic, and it's overly simplified by making it so graphic.The "whodunnit" element feels tacked on. The aimlessness of the characters doesn't encourage much in the way of incident.
