Review of Raw Power: A Novel With the Heart of a Drive-in Movie (Paperback)

Fans of Perri Pagonis's first book, Blood and Popcorn will be delighted to see that his writing is just as funny as ever. They may be surprised however, because Blood and Popcorn was a gentle, even loving, look at mall rats of the Northern Virginia suburbs. This new book, however, is sited somewhat west of DC in the unreconstructed South of Nascar loving, pitdog fighting, moonshine swilling, dirty fighting, money-making, Yahoo culture of the rural fringe of his previous world. Violent, angry, sexy, and funny all at the same time, the book features Stephen King touches like slaughtered pitbulls miraculously brought back to zombiedom life to help redneck culture cliche Boo Smalls (who despite everything you gotta love) gethis revenge against the bar-keeping bitch and her two lovers, one male and one female, who killed his dogs in the first place. That is if the aging Mafia hitman from New Jersey, hired by the guy who lost his hand in the process of trying to kill the dogs in the first place, doesnt get to them first.
You get the idea. This has all the makings of next years hot grade B movie. Get it and read it before Hollywood does and the price goes up. This is a hoot and a half.
