What do you mean not Robb? He has zero point of view chapters, no point of story is told through his eyes.
The TV show is the one guilty of building up minor characters to make their deaths more dramatic - if people get putt off, it is HBO's fault, not Martin's.
Robb is a perfect example of how they did this:
In the book: He is a 15 year old kid thrust into the role of head Stark and then king. He gets wounded in battle and ends up fucking the girl who cares for him. He then marries her because he is his father's son and has a sense of honor greater than his ability to perform logical reasoning.
In the show: He is a grown ass man who has an incredibly selfish romance and pregnancy with a complete and utter commoner for no reason other than TV show love and so it can be more dramatic when you stab her in the belly in front of him.
