A set of true stories that will leave you amazed and stunned the survival of some incredible individuals hunted by these reptiles.
This was one of the most the most memorable books my husband and I have ever read. So much so that we constantly lent it to friends and family.

I read this book when I was travelling around Australia with my Dad & it was enlightening, with all the different stories. One of the stories was alittle creepy because I was just at the location the day before I read a short story on an attack that happened there many years before.
I remember a funny encounter I had with a old man at the pool of a caravan park we were staying at. I had my legs dangling in the water when he walked up to me and said (in a funny old-man's voice):
"Are your legs in the water to make the stories more real or do you want to be eaten by a croc???" I laughed to myself.

Favorite quote:.....
"Evil, yellow eyes watch everything from just bellow the surface!"

I picked this up at the Crocodile Farm in Australia and have enjoyed reading it. It's a bit graphic in parts in describing the attacks but has lots of great info on crocs and their relationship with the Australian people.
