Does the tv series do the book justice? I don't like the trailer and find Sean Bean too blunt and angry too play eddard, opinions?

I just started watching the series on my computer a few days ago, and even though I have not read the books (I plan to now) I am completely hooked on this. After a few episodes you begin to recognize character names with the actors, and I think hbo did a wonderful job thus far. I'd like to get my girlfriend to watch it, but after what happened in the first episode I doubt she would like to see more... The sex scenes, even though I find some to be pretty funny, really limit the audience for obvious reasons. I understand some are necessary for story reasons but damn lol.
I really want to read the books but I'm afraid I'll never be as gifted and as talented as GRRM at writing if I do read them... Already have enough trouble with living up to LOTR. I am picking up a few nice ideas for my own work.
All in all, I'm glad there's a great fantasy show on television.
Don't let you stop you from reading them, or at least on of them, GRRM probably wont blow you away with his words, but he can put together a cool store and has a creative mind. It's not an intimidating read by any means. It is a multi-POV style book, which while I prefer, I know some people do not. But never get spooked by reading someones book's that have achieved success, you may be surprised to find that their writing is not the greatest but rather they are wonderfully creative.
