Captivating, engaging and informative. Couldn't put it down.. I felt every emotion right along with the story teller. I am from the US and I never realized how very little we know about life in the Australian outback. I've been to the outback but this book showed such a detailed history and life of the area, I never knew. Most of all, I am sad for James, Simon, their families and loved ones. They will always be in my prayers. Thank God for the author keeping this story alive, you are kind beyond measure and I hope some day the answers are found.

Good but could've been better.. The first part of the book was a compelling read. The author painted a detailed mental image of the region that I could see it so clearly in my mind's eye. However, the second part of the book was difficult to read. There were so many unnecessary tangents and anecdotes that I started to wonder if the author had a minimum word count to meet.

Intriguing But Disappointing. It's never easy to tell a story about a tragedy such is the one described in "Death in the Sand". Author Norm Barber attempts to kill his readers how to teenage boys died tragically in the Australian desert in 1986. Barber did not have a great deal of cooperation from many of the key characters who could have cleared up the mystery of the disappearing and death of James Annette and Simon Amos. The author does provide enough background detail to build a strong case to support a double homicide. Through his interviews, Barber lends credibility to the suspicion that cattle station manager Giles Loder was deeply involved in the boys' deaths. Unfortunately, Barber consumes an excessive amount of time describing the Aboriginal natives of the communities in close proximity to the station where James and Simon were employed prior to their demise. One of the most significant points raised by the author was the role played by the local police, whom it would seem were heavily manipulated in their search by Giles Loder. Barber is unquestionably critical of the police investigators. Overall, this was a good account of a true story that could have been much better and more informative.

Death in the Sand. Ripping Good Read.

Australian Outback History. Great Australian outback history book

Good book. This is a really good book but also has some bad parts in it

Death in the sand. Not a bad book

Death in the sand. This book is terrible , hard to follow and when you do follow ....... just why?.... All the author does is just list conspiracies of corruption from police from the last 60 years, I really do wonder if the author set foot in the kimberley’s at all ? This book represents delusional hearsay by the author and he should have a good hard look in the mirror before writing another monstrosity like this.

Wow, breathtaking revelations on WA police and the criminal activity outback station boss’s. Great read

Nope. Rambled all over the place. Poorly researched (if you’re going to name people, at least spell their names correctly). No conclusion at the end so this book provides no real insight. Also, badgering a family who have repeatedly told you they don’t want to be involved, is harassment.

Extensive. Remarkably thorough research in clearly trying circumstances. A huge congratulations on the dogged pursuit of a lead and all the arduous travel involved. The quality of the writing is a little like one of the oft described ‘rutted roads’, but well done on writing this important story.

Confused!!!. Sorry but just too damn confusing! Jumps around all over the place.
