The general storyline is pretty similar, the details are rapidly diverging - some storylines are merged, some omitted, some added completely by the tv series (Robb's wife is a completely different character, married for a different reason, and was neither preggers nor at the wedding, for example).
Probably fine considering how after next season they are getting into books 4 and 5 where the pacing sucks.
The one thing that annoyed me with the changes was Robb's wife. In the book he was wounded and ended up fucking the girl who tended him back to health and then he felt guilty about that and his honor made him marry her - which made sense since he is Ned's son and it goes along with the logic that being honorable will get your ass killed.
In the tv show he seems much more selfish.
