It is fun seeing the differences between this and the show and both of them still being good, both are definitely worth checking out

Having just completed reading Leviathan Wakes, all I can think to say is that it may have been the best science fiction I've read in 20 years.

This book was so much fun! I got pretty strong Firefly vibes from this book, although I can’t pinpoint exactly what it was about the book that reminded me of Firefly. It was fun, action packed, and super diverse. I will definitely be reading more in this series.

I usually live in the realm of thriller, fantasy and magic, with a little bit of contemporary sprinkled in. So this sci fi series is so out of my playing field. There was a lot of sci fi jargon that went over my head and I didn’t care for, but the story itself was interesting to me. Specifically Miller’s because of the mystery he’s trying to solve. I do enjoy different character perspectives, but I felt like Holden only became interesting closer to the end. I found his character to be kind of boring and brought the plot to a screeching halt sometimes.
Sci fi can feel overwhelming to me sometimes. It can veer off into technical territories that lose me or take me out of the story. So I have mixed feelings about this first book. I feel like I might need to reread it and then give another update later on about my rating for it. It is a popular television series now so I have hopes for it becoming more interesting. Let’s put a pin in it with 3 stars for now.

Wow!
I thought this was excellent, even if often horrifying and disturbing and disgusting. It was compelling and fantastic.

It was hard to concentrate on plot and i didn't care about characters or the "future society" at all. Holden especially was kind of infuriating. 
Like it wasn't bad per se, but I've read a ton of better and bolder sci-fi. Meh.
