I kind of like the telling of the story from the viewpoint of what is technically a minor character. Kyon is unimportant to the story, but certainly important to the narrative, since, well, he's the one dictating it. I have to admit that if Kyon turns out to be some sort of Special-Powered Person (in the conventional sense like the ESPers), I may be a bit disappointed.
Also, being that Kyon is a minor character, and also intellectually incurious, he's probably not likely to care much about the inner workings and mechanics of how everything is connected, unlike Koizumi. So we see the effects of whatever events are happening, but not their causes, at least until Yuki or Koizumi take the time to explain it to Kyon (and thus the reader).
