Leviathan Wakes

It is not very often I can find a sci fi book I enjoy. This one almost lost me with its technological babble, but digging through I found that Holden's character intrigued me. His general attitude and beliefs I rarely see in characters now. He was always trying to do the right thing and trusting in the human race to see the lesser evil in the information he provided, but as humans we always chose the path to war and conflict. He went from what seemed to be a man who simply slept around not caring about the world and his shitty job to a well respected individual with a crew he grew to love and trust with his life multiple times. Miller was the less interesting of the two main characters/view points (the chapters alternated between Holden and Miller) but watching his degradation from cop to slightly crazy (completely crazy?) human being was worth the read. He was sort of the stereotypical drunken divorced man searching for a new meaning in his life. The end with Eros through me for a loop though and the descriptions of the alien life forms were deeply disturbing and loved it! They set my teeth on edge and made me want to shudder. Can't wait to read the next one!
