Galgorithm is not a bad book but nor is it a great book or even a good book (for me). It is simply... okay, and by my standards that means 2 stars. I found it amusing, and I thought Shane had a realistic and distinct voice, which I appreciate. Overall, though, I wanted more from the story, and it didn't get there. With a cool title and interesting premise (although one based on a very, very popular movie), I thought Galgorithm would be a fun and unique (to ya books) read. Unfortunately, it fell into many of the same tropes and pitfalls of many ya contemporaries set in a school, and it fell short of the "tantalizing proposition" promised in the book's "outrageously" misleading summary.
