After watching the movie Sherlock Holmes in class I realized that there were a lot of similarities between it and the book Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time. Sherlock Holmes was mentioned many times in this book by Christopher, and I never really understood why. Sherlock Holmes was Christophers favorite investigator and he would always relate things going on in the book to him.
From the book I thought Sherlock Holmes was going to be a old boring movie, but after watching it I thought it was pretty good. I now understand why Christopher related so many things to Sherlock Holmes. Christopher and Sherlock Holmes have many things in common, such as they both were trying to solve mysteries. Sherlock Holmes was trying to figure out how Lord Blackwood came back from the grave and how he was going to stop him. Where as Christopher was trying to find his mom. Both of these stories had many red herrings in them also. The red herring in Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time was when Wellington got killed and Christoper was investigating who killed him. The red herring in Sherlock Holmes was the cyanide the girl that was with Sherlock throughout the movie took with her.
