Is the 2012 W giant boulder mountain bike good for a beginner? I will be using it on roads and light trails?

I went to a bike shop and that was what the guy offered me. The total price for a helmet and the bike minus a discount would be $362. It seems like a good deal, but I'm not a bike aficionado so if anyone has any input that would be great! Thank you!
By "light trails" I mean the beginner activities...nothing that is actually on a mountain or a desert. I live in south florida so everything is pretty much flat. There are some mountain bike trails in local parks and I think it would be pretty neat to be able to ride them. Is the giant boulder mountain bike a good fit, or should I go with something else? My budget is pretty low. I don't want to spend more than $350 for a bike.

Answer
I would go with a comfort or hybrid bike instead. Mountain bikes suck on the road and not much better on hard packed bike paths. A Cypress or Suede would be better and more comfortable.
