Review: Missed opportunities

This was an interesting story line that just fell short of the promise.  There was lots of running to and fro with very little real action.  The main character, Owen, is not very likeable, and he's thoughtless and makes unbelievably unprofessional decisions that were not well thought out even though he was trying to help his brother.  In fact, his desire to help his brother was about his only redeeming quality.  There were too many missed opportunities to really develop the story around the physical changes Owen experiences and the mice.  MUCH more of the story could have been about the mice and what was going on with them.  I was actually more interested in what was hinted about the mice than what was happening with Owen.
