“The world is full of obvious things which nobody by any chance ever observes” (73)
Christopher is quoting Sherlok Holmes. This quote is significant because Christopher relates this to his life. He thinks that this quote doesn’t apply to him, just like it doesn’t apply to Sherlok Holmes. Christopher is different and thinks a in a completely different way then all the other kids, he notices strange things and is a very good problem solver. He thinks different because of his autism, and is more of a careful observant person. Christopher is writing a mystery novel because he knows this about himself. In his book he makes sure that he includes every detail even if they are irrelevant. He also knows how to solve mysteries because his favorite books are the ones about Sherlok Holmes. His favorite book is The Hound of Bakervills, because its also about a dog, but the dog doesn’t die, the dog scares someone to death.
