4.0 out of 5 stars Gut-wrenching, December 27, 2008

This review is from: Dance with the Devil: A Memoir of Murder and Loss (Paperback)
At one level this is a real gut-wrenching story - written by the father and grandfather of the murder victims. By the end of the book I had a good sense of what a special guy his son was, and what an outrage it is that this happened.

The book also highlights the failings of the Canadian law system and how this played a part in another life being lost.

I recommend that readers of this book also watch the documentary to get a more complete picture of this sad story.

5.0 out of 5 stars I am at a loss for words, November 21, 2010
By 
This review is from: Dance with the Devil: A Memoir of Murder and Loss (Paperback)
David and Kate Bagby are not human, they are a Force of Nature right up there with lightning bolts and tidal waves.

How someone can go on with their lives after an episode such as this is beyond ANYTHING I have ever witnessed or heard of. David Bagby is a man of remarkable intelligence, resourceful, practical and that shows in his writing. There are no fillers, only a highly detailed description of events and the Canadian judicial system, where the cracks are and how to fix them. You get it all. How the events unfolded, his surprise (and shock) at many judicial decisions but immediately devising a strategy to address them. An engineer in everything, even in the face of this monstrosity.

The Bagby family have become my most recent personal heroes. Their tenacity is simply breathtaking and their endurance to withstand such MASSIVE amounts of pain is something other people can only dream of.

I am not a very religious man. Or lets say, my faith goes through many ups and downs. But I have no doubt that David and Kate went against pure evil. That monster who killed their son and grandson was not sick, was not demented - she was dark to the core, something beyond this natural world. How they kept their sanity after facing it, is something quite remarkable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dance with the Devil, May 8, 2009
This review is from: Dance with the Devil: A Memoir of Murder and Loss (Paperback)
You need to first see the video "Dear Zachary" and then read this book - the book is great and fills in a lot of detail that couldn't be included the video. This is a heart wrenching story that leaves you crying for David and Kate Bagby.
