I think you mean poses instead of posseses.
It is such an original book, it poses more questions than it answers.

The book is such an original piece because it possesses so many meaningful questions.

Such is such an overused word.
I agree with the above answers.
This unusual (weird) book poses (raises) many questions.
--Then elaborate in subsequent sentences.
Or, If you like drama, "this weird-*ss book had me just crazy with questions"
All books are original - It's the ideas that are fresh.

I think the "such" and "so" are unnecessary, and I'm not sure "possesses" is the appropriate verb. Try trimming it down to "It is an original book that poses many questions." More concise--less fluff.

i wouldn't use the word "possesses" because that would mean that the book owns some questions. instead, i would use a word like "prompts," "raises," or "provokes."
it is such an original book that prompts/raises/provokes so many questions.
you could also throw out a few of the words to make it less wordy. it'd get rid of "such" and "so" so that it reads like this:
it is an original book that prompts/raises/provokes many questions.
your choice!

"that possesses so many questions.." questions about what? readers are going to ask what questions the book holds...
reworded, based on how to kill a mocking bird= "The original novel, How to Kill A Mocking bird, possesses so many questions about the moral nature of human beings"

This book is surprisingly different, springing unexpected points of view on the reader and prompting questions which demand thought. It is not a book I would recommend to anyone searching for some light reading. It is, however, one which will entertain, educate and hold your interest even after you have finished reading it. It will likely even be one to which you will return as your mind continues to mull over the questions it has raised.

I would use the word "has" or maybe "asks" instead of "possesses".
Maybe create two sentences instead of one, and elaborate more on why/how the book is original.
Then elaborate on why/how it has so many questions.

This book is so original, and it has/holds so many questions.

The writing style consists of an ingenious use of ambiguity, leaving the reader with more questions then answers.
