lowbudgetcyborgI finished Leviathan Wakes today. The last chapter in the book corresponds to about 1/3rd of the way through season 2 of the show, minus the Bobbie Draper stuff. (Wikipedia tells me the Bobbie Draper stuff is coming in the 2nd book.)
I like the way the books makes it clear how physically wearing all their adventures are on the characters, something we don't get so consistently in the show.
I didn't miss the stow-away plot point. I did miss the plot point about Amos's reaction to the scientists who had their empathy removed. I missed Miller's banter with Diogo, but I liked the way the book handled Miller's end better than the show did. I liked that it was deliberate vs a last-minute heroic thing.
I'm not sure how I feel about the differences in how the book handled the ...travels... of the last sample of the McGuffin vs how the show handled it. But it does continue the theme of the show generally making things more complicated than in the book, in a way that seems calculated to causecheap, unnecessary angst.
I like how the book makes it clear multiple times that Naomi is very, very smart, and very, very, competent.
