Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Good, not a horror
Review: It was a good look at cults, etc. Realistic and different, each characher has a distinc personality.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I wish there were more books like this one!!!
Review: What a fascinating page turner! I loved the various charactors in this book and the plot was great! I also loved the surprise ending. The book is great from the first page to the very last page. Daughters of Eve is definately one of Duncan's best books. It ranks right up there with "I Know What You Did Last Summer" and "Don't Look Behind You."

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A Great Book
Review: I thought that this was a very good book. I'll admit that I thought it was a little difficult to get into, but after that I couldn't put it down. It showed me how one person can influence so many people. The ending was very suprising, but I liked it. Lois Duncan is a great writer and she really has a way of describing characters and situations. She is one of my favorite authors, and this book is just another reflection of her talent. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes to read.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good Book
Review: This book is about an exclusive club at a high school called Daughters of Eve, that is really more like a cult. It has a lot to do with feminism, once the new teacher advisor Irene comes into the picture, and starts influencing the girls in the club to do bad things. Such as hurting people, and destroying classrooms of sexist teachers. Overall this is an excellent book, and I recommend it to anyone who is a fan of mystery/thrillers.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: i luved it!!
Review: i don't know why this book has gotten so many bad reviews. Lois Duncan doesn't have to write 'thrillers' all the time!! anyways, i LOVED IT!!! i wanted to read it in one night but i didn't have enought time. the ending was really cool too. alot of people said that there were too many characters and that it was hard to keep up with them. i didn't think it was hard at all! the endings were really suprising. one person said that it didn't have a climax but i thought that it did. it is a great book and now i am doing my english project on it!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A Teenage Girl
Review: I really liked this in-depth book by Lois Duncan. Being a teenager myself, i found it easy to relate to the characters in all of Ms. Duncan's books. Her books esp. make me realize the consequences of actions. In Daugters of Eve, it shows how a teacher with a single, frightening mission to "get back" at men can manipulate young girls to assist her in her mission. After reading this book, it made me a bit more wary of who i choose as a role model and helped me to really evaluate how much of an influence people can be.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An Interesting Book
Review: I would say that this is one of Duncan's best books. The characters in this book are so realistic. You can feel what they feel on a certain level of understanding that Duncan doesn't even have to write it. The book was written in all the girl's views. This made the book alot better because you really understand what is happening instead of being forced to believe one perspective. The plot was very interesting because each girl had her own plot and then when all the girl's lives get put together into the club, a whole new problem evolves. The writing style of this book is so unique and suspensful that I started reading the book, and only put it down to eat dinner. The ending was absolutely great! It ended very suddenly and leaves with your own thoughts of what happens next. I would reccomend this book to any one 13years old or older. Younger readers may not understand the whole high school scene and miss alot of important points. The book is a little hard to follow, so if you have a hard time focusing, it may be hard for you to understand this. All in all, any fan of Duncan's work should really read this book.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: 4 stars all the way!
Review: I have only read a few amount of lois duncans books. but i can already tell that she is a wonderful writer that always has something up her sleve! this book daughters of eve is about a after school club.They never share anything talked about in the club. They must keep the memebers at a amount of 10 and are all sisters inside the club. But this fun after school club soon becomes a violent cult. they are swarn by secrecy, bound by loyalty and shattered by hate. who is safe from the lies? who will be the first victim?

i really enjoyed this book. it was a real page turner. If you have liked any of lois duncans past books im sure you will fall in love with Daughters of eve!

Review: Rachel May

A Club of Horror

Daughters of Eve by Lois Duncan can easily be an addicting book to read, even if you are one of those readers with little tolerance for sitting down and spending time to read, you will be hooked. It takes place in the town of Modesta, Michigan in a medium sized high school. It was a typical school setting except for the fact of the club they had, The Daughters of Eve Club. This was a mysterious club that no one could enter or even be considered for membership unless, it was approved by all previous members. The leader of this club was Fran Schneider. She ran the meetingsand decided what to do. Fran was the most popular girl in the school. There were other members like Ruth, who was also a popular girl,then there was Tammy Carncross. She was a loved girl by all members and others in the school. She was perfect except for one thing, she would get bad feelings about things. One day, at the meeting to initiate new members, she got one of these bad feelings and ran out. Due to this the new girls that were asked to join thought twice and others didn't know what to think. Later on, you find out what the bad feeling was about and why this was such an uproar. The club would never be the same again. The girls didn't know what they were headed for when they got brain washed by this club, and they all learned in the end. This was frightening and enjoyable story. If you like books like this it is a good one for you to pick up and read. Definitely a four star book.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: I would rather give it 3 and a half
Review: I thought the book had some good parts and som bad ones. The bad ones are that it got really annoying about all this female rights crap. But i know that was part of the book. To show you how the DOE turned from a simple club to a hateing cult. It also shows you what a adult can do to teens. If you had a teacher that let you trash people you dont like thats going to change the way you think. Well its all right but not her best.
