It's really interesting that Charlie, being the wallflower that he is, notices everything and yet judges no one. He simply states things as a fact. "She had hair under her arms, no kidding!" He doesn't understand social cues or norms -- "I don't know who decides these things, it just happens." Also, it's interesting to watch as Charlie progresses in his writing through these letters, from using run-on sentences

"I guess he stood up to his bully. And I guess that makes sense."

well jesus christ, charlie -- though, understanding that his character is heavily implied to be on the spectrum, it puts his perspective into a whole new light
