After having watched all of the show released so far, I just finished Leviathan Wakes.

Maybe it's my fault for having mostly read Terry Pratchett and Douglas Adams for the last few years, but I found the writing to be extremely bland. It does the job of narrating the plot but the lack of all flavor would have turned me off immediately if I wasn't able to visualize the characters and scenes from the show.

That said, I'm pretty happy with the changes they made for the show. And a bit annoyed that most of the things I didn't really like about the characters were details carried over from the books.

I also found the series lacking humour, but maybe that's because I've only mostly watched Mock The Week and Have I Got News for You for the last few years.
