Yeah, I think I'm happy with it. There are certain aspects of the original story that can be easily transmitted to TV, and others that aren't. I think they've done well with incorporating what they have from the story, and what has been added or changed has worked, for me at least. I think there are minimum requiremnets that NEED to be met as this story goes forward, and it appears they'll stick with that, and some that won't, such as Sophia. I don't think they'll ever make it to the prison, though. Logistically speaking for a TV show, it' seems it would be too hard to film there. Plus, they're there much longer than they were at the farm.
So yeah, I'm happy. A good comparison to what tv shows/movies can potentially do to ruin a story is Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer. I won't go complete supernerd into the details, but they absolutely butchered the story of the Surfer, and Galactus, for that matter. Hell, even in the last X-Men movie, they had Juggernaut as a mutant, and in the comics he was anything but. I don't see the Walking Dead making those kind of mistakes.
