Thing is, the books have more time to elaborate on Lawrence's point of view. But it's still just his point of view. What we see in the anime is reduced more to what he's seeing of Holo, not thinking of her, so it's easier for us to draw our own conclusions (his thoughts getting in the way).
Remember: Lawrence is in love with her, and has an immediate bias to self-deprecation. And so without that layer of complexity, we're more apt to let our own interpretation and biases cloud our judgement of Holo, rather than him.
Volume 3 (first half of season 2) is one instance where this doesn't apply so readily, because we're spending time with him, not her. For once, we're shown just how he thinks, and how wrong he can be, and then they just accept his conclusions at the end as truth anyway.
