'Dead Bastards' is the story of Emma, her boyfriend Scott and the small group of friends they pick up as they attempt to survive a zombie apocalypse.There was a good sense of realism to this book; the characters were believable and their actions made sense, and everything in the story was solidly put together.  The added worry that Emma may be pregnant added another level to the horror.  The whole thing played out very well, with some surprises and an ending I wouldn't have predicted.There's also some good humour and witty dialogue.  It's set in Scotland so I appreciated the Scottish sayings, etc.  I really liked Emma too, I thought she was a good, strong female character.I enjoyed this book and it was a fairly quick and easy read.  I would recommend it to fans of zombie books and horror fans in general.
