I have enjoyed the show and the books.
The basic narrative will broadly cover the same themes, characters and locations, but television and novels are wildly different mediums, and it's only right, I think, that differences happen. You cannot tell the story of the novels on the television screen, and aspects that have worked brilliantly on television would not work in the novels, particularly with Martin's multiple POV narrative structure.
I don't approve of all the changes in the show, I think they've mostly been well judged. I do, however, think that Dorne has been massively underserved in Season 5. I hope that they partially redeem that in episode 10 and in season 6, particularly with regards to Prince Doran, who, while having little to do, has been well acted so far.
