Hubie's Stutter
I enjoyed the fact that the main character had a stutter, and I found Hubie more endearing because of it.
"Well...I've seen enough. Come on Charlie, we're going home."
I totally agree. I admit at first the stutter did bother me. I was trying to figure out why the main character spoke that way-I guess it was to make him sound more nervous and nerdy. After I got use to it though then it grew on me and did make Hubie more endearing.
I also like how in the end, as Hubie got braver and stronger he loses in the stutter.
