I would go as far as to say that if you resolve everything, you'll become predictable and boring.

Good books have plenty of ambiguity. At least IMNSHO. I want to be surprised by the story, I want the protagonist to have several equally valid choices (so that the one he takes means something - 'save the world or watch all your friends die isn't a choice. It's boring, however danger-loaded it might be). I want to _not_ be able to predict which briefly introduced minor character will prove important later on, which of the several options proves to be the bad guy etc etc.
