The first few episodes of GoT aren't actually that great. Season 1 certainly gets better towards the end. I found the books to be far more interesting, personally, because I enjoy how expansive they are, and how they explore each character in depth. Some people dislike the books (Book 4 and 5 having little forward plot progression and a lot more character development and exploration) but if you like that sort of read I'd go for the books.
The show's probably worth a watch, though. You should give the first season a chance at least.
