It really doesn't. There are similarities ij the broad strokes of the story but there are numerous characters in the tv show that either don't exist or have a different mortality status in the books.
I absolutely love The Walking Dead, but the latest episode was full of inconsistencies.
1) At the end of the last episode the young whiny lad (Sam ?) was starting to loose the plot and shout out "mum", yet when we see them next he is silent again.
2) How did Daryl overpower and kill the gang member (and get stabbed in the process) without a single one of the remaining 20+ gang seeing or hearing ?
3) How did the rocket completely obliterate every single member of the gang, and yet Sasha and Abraham were completely unscathed.
4) Why couldn't Maggie get down from the lookout tower the same way the girl who rescued her got up ?
5) Since when did Zombies get more attracted to fire than to fresh meat to eat ?
6) Why didnt Rick (or someone else) simply knock out Whiny Sam when started to go into one and carry him to safety, rather than all just standing their watching ?
Oh.... ** Spoiler Alert ** by the way. Sorry.

Clearly we've jumped forwards and we just have to assume he was soothed or calmed down.

Daryl is badass. What more do you need to know!?
3) How did the rocket completely obliterate every single member of the gang, and yet Sasha and Abraham were completely unscathed.
See point 2. He knew exactly where to fire it.
4) Why couldn't Maggie get down from the lookout tower the same way the girl who rescued her got up ?
Glenn distracted all the walkers, before he did that they were crowded around it. He created the diversion.
5) Since when did Zombies get more attracted to fire than to fresh meat to eat ?
Only some of them were, we have to assume our heroes carried on slicing and dicing them into the night...
6) Why didnt Rick (or someone else) simply knock out Whiny Sam when started to go into one and carry him to safety, rather than all just standing their watching ?
Knock out a kid, this ain't the movies where a blow to the head leads to a tidy unconscious state, crikey...
Oh.... ** Spoiler Alert ** by the way. Sorry.
