The book, “The Dark Portal,” by Robin Jarvis is a book about a struggle between two species--the rat and the mouse. The rats are a violent and disgusting breed of creatures preying on mice and peeling their skins off as trophies. The mice are peaceful nature loving creatures. One day, a mouse called Albert falls into the sewers and into the land of the rats. There he meets a mouse called Piccadily, and they suddenly end up in the altar of Jupiter, the god of the rats who is brewing up a big plan to destroy mankind and rule the Earth. Meanwhile, after Albert’s mysterious disappearance, Albert’s daughter Audrey ventures into the sewers to look for her father and lands between Jupiter and his goal of world domination… The book was very entertaining and interesting to read. It was a bundle of non-stop action! There were mice flying everywhere and rats flying everywhere to get the mice. I could not read a single page without being scared or excited. Also, the author succeeds in giving the animal characters human like characteristics that each of the characters had their own special personality. The only thing that I didn’t really like about the story was that the ending felt a bit rushed because the climax wasn’t long enough but other than that it was a very nice book and I would like to recommend it to people who like suspense.

I agree with Alex that the book review makes the book seem very interesting. I would like a chance to read the book. However I wonder if the book is part of a series of books. If it is then I probably have read the second and third book and they were not really good.

I really like this book review because it is very similar to cartoon, 'Tom and Jerry' It would be great to think Tom and Jerry while you read.
