With the major plot points, yes.

The LOLjoys won't appear until next season though.

The differences between the show and books can be surmised as compromises to make a series of 1,000-ish page books fit into 10 hour seasons. This includes cutting scenes, moving things around, combining characters, etc.

I personally enjoy the extra length; the little details are nice. For example, GRRM has made a mention of every house, major and minor, within the books. Even if it's just giving the name offhandedly in dialogue. This can definitely be cumbersome to read, I admit, but I enjoy the nuance.

Okay, this is major spoilers for showfags that haven't read the books so you've been warned:

Which is why I admit that it isn't for everyone, and that it can be cumbersome to read depending on the person. Each book is a doorstopper in length, not everybody wants to sit through that. (Un)fortunately for me, I am that kind of person who does.
