OK, two weekends ago I blew through all three books. Pretty intense stuff for a story angled at teens, but it was riveting from the first page to the last.
The movie sucked by comparison. They set it up so that if they never make the trilogy it's a "short story" with a finality. The books left you wanting more.
There was so much they didn't include and I don't know if it was for time or for what I said above - keep it short and if it bombs, it's final.
I felt they didn't explain enough or get into some of the detail of who and why that sets up the relationships between the main characters. The preparations of the contestants was so chopped short it really didn't set up anything for future movies.
Twilla was right about not having the same emotion as the books too. It was very flat compared to them.
