The books are awesome and so is the TV show. They are two sides of the same coin really, different, yet the same.
I pretty much agree with every change made from the books to make it a good TV series. They really did a great job.
The first season follows the books the most faithful in terms of small details. Those details got lost a bit in the later seasons because of budget constraints.
Reading the books is very much recommended as it gives context and motivation for all the characters and decisions they made. In the series stuff just kinda happens and you don't always know why or what lead to that point.
The cutting of the storyline of one of the most awesome characters (Bull) is a shame, but I can understand why they did it.
