I think his guilt is meant to be ambiguous, it lets the viewer/reader think about things and come up with their own scenario of what really happened. This is part of the appeal for me, I don't really like things that are clearly defined, it's much more interesting to have to come up with your own take on things. Also, regarding the book, I don't think I've ever come as close to being physically ill after reading something as I did with that book. It was still good, just very disturbing, especially the scene with the rat.
