Review: Nice end to a funny series. Go Sarah and David!

All good things must come to an end, and I have to say that The Zombie Whisperer, the fourth and final book in Jesse Petersen's Living With The Dead series, did a nice job at bringing it all to a close.It's been a year since the zombie outbreak forced David and Sarah - a couple on the verge of divorce - to escape their home in Seattle. Since then, they've traveled the country fighting both zombies and a military that wants to slice and dice David in the name of science (since he's all "super human" now).The couple is stronger than ever, but now they must return home to Seattle and, hopefully, help bring an end to this zombie plague once and for all. Of course, for reasons that are made blatantly obvious within the first few pages of the book *rolling eyes at stereotypes*, the big bad government men have now set their sights on Sarah.These books have always been pretty light and funny (in a raunchy, sarcastic kind of way). They aren't long enough to really get into the nitty-gritty details or spend too much time on character development, but that's okay. It's kind of like an action/comedy movie, you watch it for the laughs and explosions, not for a meaningful plot and deep characters. When it ends and the unlikely heroes ride off into the sunset and that's that.I admit, I scrunched up my nose when it's obvious that Sarah is in a condition (oh come on, it's obvious within the first few pages and is unveiled quickly enough -- I don't think that's too much of a spoiler). Maybe I'm just bitter for my own personal reasons, but I dread when characters get pregnant in books? Everything becomes about "the baby" until I want to puke, but Sarah and David maintained their individual personalities and I didn't get that annoyed.I'd recommend this book for fans of the Living With The Dead series who want to know what finally happens to Sarah and David. Will they live happily zombie-ever-after? This is an especially good book to read when you're between books as it's short and light.I wouldn't recommend these books for people who haven't read the first three books (it won't make sense).
