How to Smash Everyone to Pieces

by Mike Segretto

Ex-stunt woman and champion wisecracker Mary is furious to discover that her twin sister Desiree — accused of murdering her husband — has been wrangled back to an Arizona prison by a grizzled detective named Tuttle. Fueled by an unnaturally obsessive love for her twin, Mary sets off on a homicidal cross-country campaign to free Desiree from the clutches of the law, recruiting a bizarre bunch of cohorts on the way. Flanked by fast-talking lawyer Mexicali Sally, frustrated punk-rocker Revolta, and a hulking but flamboyant mass of a man known only as "The Violator," Mary steals motorcycles, stages lethal stripteases, and generally wreaks havoc until arriving in Arizona, where she plots a prison break for Desiree and faces a final showdown with Detective Tuttle. Bursting with action, How to Smash Everyone to Pieces keeps the pedal to the metal from start to finish.

Before you read this book you should read Dead Dog because the two books are related. I love the language of how this book is written. It's about a stripper, porno star, stunt woman, lesbian who is going after a detective that kidnapped her twin sister who she has a relationship with and not the sisterly kind.
There's a lot of Who references so maybe read the book while listening to The Who.

I can't decide if I should give it 2 or 3 stars. It was so wacky and the more I think about it the more disturbing it is, but it was a very crazy read and I wanted to see how it ended. It took me a while to get used to the writing style.
