I read it long ago so my recollections are vague, but I actually kind of liked that aspect of the book. Mainly from an absurd humorous point of view though, in that it's a way of baffling expectations. But I get your point, and I just realised East of Eden (which I love a lot too) has the same shortcoming to a lesser extent: it's a bit tell, don't show sometimes.
