No, the show is nothing like the books. Only the original premise was taken from the first book (which wasn't even published yet at the time). Other than that, there are practically no similarities in terms of plot, names (Earthborn vs. Grounders), and even characters (Octavia is a 15 year-old drug addict, for example, and Lincoln doesn't exist).
