I've started doing the America's Choice program for my school, and I have to say... it's not as bad as I heard it would be. I get that some people are unhappy about it, but I'm making modifications to it that adjust it to where it works in my classroom. It's written for Eleventh graders, and I'm teaching it to seventh and eighth graders, so some of it has to be changed a little.
The biggest complaint I've had so far is that they use the same source material for the narrative genre as they do for the expository genre (which is the one I'm teaching). So I keep getting the, "We've read this before" song from the kids.
