What I sort of disagree with you on is when you say that the book is not perfect because of "the use of a first-person narrator". It is true that this way "we only get to experience events through Philip’s eyes", but it does not necessarily mean that "the thoughts and feelings of other characters are left unexplored". In fact what we do in real life is just that, interpret the thoughts and feelings of the others by what we see or are told. Maybe the other characters of the novel remain largely undeveloped, and this may be a flaw of the author for not paying enough attention to them, but it is not a result of the book being written in the first person - my opinion.
