I am very pleased with my purchase.
Pros:
=====
–Portable: slim and small size – my kids also love it as it’s a good fit on their smaller size hands.
–Reasonable Price (I bought it on a Gold Box Deal)
–Presenter Mode functionality (can only move forward and back through the slide show – this is not a Gyro mouse).
Cons:
=====
–As pointed out by other reviewers, the scroll wheel s a bit stuff.

FYI the presenter mode operation is not clearly listed anywhere – it took a few minutes to figure it out as you have to start the slide show and make sure the mouse lights have finished blinking.

Enthralling. Colifer engages you from start to finish. Not only is Artemis Fowl II one of my favorite characters of all time, but he also gives us one of those rare opportunities to have the antagonist as our main character. When both sides are getting down and dirty you start thinking of the whole thing as a free-for-all, but every time you take a step back you realize that Artemis is actually the villain. And Colifer still has you rooting for him all the way. Extremely clever in all respects, with witty dialogue and witty narration, I can hardly even imagine someone putting it down. You couldn’t accuse Colifer of unoriginality either, for his high-tech city-dwelling fairies are unique and refreshing. I find Colifer to be amazingly creative. Who would have thought that the “Lep” in Leprechaun (or LEPrecon and Colifer spells it) stood for Lower Elements Police?

In summary, the characters are well-developed and engaging, the plot is fast-paced and intense, and Colifer has stuffed its 304 pages with wit, humor, creativity and cleverness. I don’t give five stars lightly, but this book has definitely earned them.
