"Prime numbers are what is left when you have taken all of the patterns away. I think prime numbers are like life. They are very logical but you could never work out the rules, even if you spent all your time thinking about them" (Haddon 12)

So, first, before I respond to this quote I want to say that I'm not going to write anything "formally" unless I have to, because I think I'll get my point across better in an "informal" matter. So, anyway- I don't really know how to respond to this quote, the actual information about prime numbers and life is, I don't know, obvious. I don't want to write about that. I find it interesting, however, that the "author" uses the term "I think" a lot. He states a fact or an opinion and tells the reader why he has that opinion or what he thinks about said fact. Its almost like he doesn't want the reader to mistake any of the information he gives us, he wants us to know why he does everything. Everything the "author" does is explained in detail, its other people who are left a mystery. Maybe other people are like prime numbers...
