Sure, the books have made me hate the show more than I would otherwise, but I also gained the enjoyment of reading the books so it's a net positive for me.

During the War of the Five Kings, Ramsay is initially loyal to King in the North Robb Stark, retaking Winterfell from Theon Greyjoy on his orders but at the same time sacking the castle as part of his father's scheme to betray House Stark. Following the successful capture of Winterfell from the Ironborn, Ramsay holds Theon captive and utilizes extreme torture to break him into loyal submission; renaming him "Reek".

Am I right that the show never gives the Three Eyed Raven's actual name? That's fucking weird.
They make him say the famous “a thousand eyes and one” line, despite the fact that he has both eyes. They never explicitly say who he is in the books, but the clues are all there

I think in Winds we're going to see Bran return south with a cool artifact:
Spoiler: show
GRRM confirmed at a speaking event recently that Bloodraven took the Valyrian steel sword Dark Sister north of the wall with him.

honestly, i think the problem with most of you book readers is that you think that the show is an adaptation of the books instead of merely being based on the books. and so if any part of the show veers in a different direction, you get all apoplectic.

Wrong: the scenes between Tywin and Arya at Harrenhal are widely believed to be positive changes and made the show better.
Same with the scene between Robert and Cersei discussing how their marriage is keeping the realm together and discussing Lyana Stark

Also, I've said it before and I'll say it again. The show is FANTASTIC through Tywin's death.
