I had trouble understanding what Christopher was trying to explain about Sherlock Holmes. He may have been making a point that they're both smart in some ways such as their ability to concentrate, the way they observe certain things from a different perspective, and how they enjoy solving mysteries. It's nice to see how a kid like Christopher looks up to an intelligent man like Sherlock Holmes. And Christopher is, too, indeed a genius in his own way.
I had the exact same problem. I think it was a little bit difficult to read because (in my case) I found that bit of reading rather boring. It got the point across but sort of dragged on.
