Leviathan Wakes

Why, oh why do authors these days seem to think that the use of foul language by all of their characters including their protagonists is a good idea? Is it because they feel their story/plot is weak and it needs “punching up”? I had (perhaps unreasonably) great hopes for this series of books since it seems so well-received by many, and even has spawned a well-regarded television/video series - only to have my hopes summarily dashed by the constant foul language and low-class topics of conversation among the characters. This only served to alienate me from the characters and (sooner rather than later) cause me to abandon the book, and the series, and the author. Too bad.
