I LOVED the books.
I have been meaning to try the Divergent series. I also recommend the Graceling series.
I thought the movies were OK, except for how physically wrong most of the lead actors are. Katniss is a starving teenager, and Jennifer Lawrence is a well-fed 25-year-old. Please.

I have heard that it's harder to get YA published than adult books, and that it's because kids won't put up with the shit adults will in books- your plotting has to be tighter, your narrative more streamlined, etc.
