Title: Cute but not especially functional
Product review: I own a slightly different Book Owl product that looks almost identical to this one but comes without extra batteries. Compared to older book lights with 4-AA batteries and incandescent bulbs, this one looks and feels much lighter, more modern, and cooler. As noted, however, the LED burns with a blue light that is less friendly than the old-time yellowish light. More importantly, even when the batteries are at their peak, relatively little light reaches the page. Worse, because there is transparent plastic *above* the lamp, some of the light winds up directly in your eyes. Who knows what the designers were thinking! As a result, I do not recommend this book light.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
