Summary: Life in these walls: A very good book.
Review: I found this book very enjoyable to read. The characters breathe with a life all their own, in a fantasy world that is a refreshing break from the norm. Although there are times when the flow of the book seems to stagnate, it quickly picks up again with fiery fervor that few authors are ever able to recapture once it is initially lost. The story twists and folds through the world o a fantastic lead antagonist/protagonist, who is his own best friend and worst enemy all at once. Good times.

Summary: What a book
Review: I must say i was pleasantly suprised by this book, it was well writen and the illustrations are pretty too. I love the fact that the star of this book is a rat and not some cheery cute animal gone evil, there are many little things that keep this book glued to your eyes. I highly recommend this and hope everyone goes out and supports this guy cause he's gonna be a great writer.

Summary: Very Clever
Review: Mike Robinson is an extremely creative writer. I loved the concept of life inside house walls which Mike developed so well and made it so believable. The novel is addicting and kept me wanting more. It's definitely a change in style from all the other books out there. I highly recommend this novel.

Summary: Slightly scattered but HIGHLY entertaining noir novel.
Review: Mike Robinson's novel is an enjoyable ride through the seedy underworld of rodents, insects, and the other sorts of vermin.Unlike most novels featuring anthropomorphic rodents, which feature cute, happy mice who overcome their small size to win the day, the protagonist of Vermin Street is a rat. And not an overly pleasant one, either - a refreshing change from the norm. Though the book can get overly wordy, there are a handful of printing errors, and the narrative feels slightly scattered at times, there is a quality about the darkness that I find very appealing. Also, the verbosity of its author is tempered by his willingness to try and dazzle the reader with his descriptions. Robinson never seems to lack for new ways to describe even mundane items and situations, and many of his phrasings border, and periodically do cross into, the brilliant. A worthy effort, and I look forward to more from this author.

Summary: Very Cool Noir Novel with a Twist!
Review: This novel by Mike Robinson focuses on the life of a rumpled private eye in a grungy city. But the beautiful part about it all is that he's a rodent living in the walls of a house in a city of vermin! This clever piece of work has moments of pure brilliance thanks to Robinson's bitter sense of humor and keen eye for political irony. This book is the beginning of a new era in noir writing that everybody should check out. This author is a bright new talent that should be recognized! Cornelius Danger Blackrat is a franchise waiting to happen!!!

Summary: An Original World With An Important Underlying Point
Review: What surprised me most about Vermin Street is that it was a totally new take on the world of animals. Unlike any of the other "children's stories" out there, the author crafts a dark and sinister adult world that just happens to be filled with animals. He makes a very deep point about the human condition, how we can be so focused on the details of our small-time mysteries that we miss the big picture, the world going on "outside these walls." And what better way to explore deeper philosophies than through an engaging narrative that's filled with deep characters? We're pulled through a winding mystsery that, at the end, makes us look at ourselves and how the world isn't always just but good can still come of it.
