There are several things going on here, but there are a lot of dropped threads. On the one hand, this can be chalked up to the limited perspective--we're seeing everything through 12-year-old David's eyes--but it ends up feeling like there were more things Cunningham had planned to do and wandered away from. His later books show off his strength--fully-developed ensemble casts--that is lacking here; seeing each family member's drama through their individual perspectives would have helped this feel less haphazard.
The flyleaf description gives away nearly the whole plot, though it implies certain events are of greater consequence than they truly are. Silver lining: at least there were still some (minor) surprises for me by the end of the book, and nobody becomes a caricature of what they could be. ( )
