Summary: Daughters of Eve
Review: I have read Daughters of Eve several times, and each time i love it just the same. To me books with several characters suites me more because there are separate things about each one of them. It keeps you reading to find out what is going to happen to the ones that are in trouble, and with this book that is exactly what happened. To me it would relate alot to Teens and young adults.

Summary: Okay and Good
Review: It was a good book. It was clever and it made you believe you were there. Irene was clever and the end was unbelievable. Good book.

Summary: R. L. Stein this ain't.
Review: When I was 13 or so, I read a lot of teen horror books by the likes of R.L Stine and Christopher Pike. When I found "Daughters of Eve" in the teen thriller section of the library I decided to give it a try--the copy I found had a blood stained candle on the cover and the description sounded "spooky".

Well, as I found out, R.L. Stine this ain't. I agree with the reviewer who wrote that this book is extremely mismarketed. It's not a teen thriller but a complicated story of misogyny, relations between men and women, and radical feminism. The underlying message is that a good cause (women's rights in this case) can be so severely distorted that it achieves the opposite of what it is trying to accomplish.

Young readers who wanted a "scary" story and gave this book bad reviews should wait a few years and give it another try, this time with different expectations.

Summary: Daughters of Eve
Review: This is the best Lois Duncan book I have read yet, and I am a big fan of her work. Reading this book kept me interested and mesmerized. I enjoyed the characteristic of sisterhood the book offered, as well as the plot. The fact that the teacher was the center of the book and the club added a nice twist to the story. Reading about each "sister's" point of view was interesting.

Summary: This is the most horrible book!
Review: Ok...I have read a lot of Lois Duncan books...in fact i've almost read all of them but this one was the worst...it had absolutely no plot and well just nothing to it! If you really want a good book by Lois Duncan then read "Gallows Hill" or "Killing Mr. Griffin"!

Summary: Not as good as expected
Review: I've read many Lois Duncan books,but this was a bit of a disappointment. The story was just weird and twisted. I found myself,turning through some of the pages,and being bored. There were quite alot of characters,which caused alot of confusion. Sometimes,I forgot who they were and had turn back and see. The cover may seem interesting because it says "they share everything" but its really not. If you want to read something good read stranger with my face or the third eye.

Summary: I thought this was great!
Review: Despite what some of the other reviewers are saying, I thought this was a great book, one of Duncan's best. It was the first book of hers that I've read and since then I've read almost all of her others. This book was chilling, and made all the more so by the fact that I could almost see this scenario happening. Seriously, you get a bunch of teenage girls together and convince them that they're better than others and they'll do just about anything for you, which can say alot about the sad state of our society today.

Summary: Daughters of Evil
Review: As a Lois Duncan fan, I must say that I am very disappointed by this book. There were a lot of grammatical errors and I was confused...no, disappointed by the ending. I felt betrayed. I did not like the idea of the evil teacher getting away with "murder". The way the girls treated that boy, shaving his head and etc., was VICIOUS. Eerie. Sick. This book is being removed from our reading list at the school where I teach. At first, I thought maybe the parent was overreacting. I am not for censorship and I feel that children should be able to read whatever they want, within certain boundaries. However, in the aftermath of the highly publicized violent school shootings, maybe this is not such a good idea. After thinking about the content a little more, maybe it does need to be removed. I was just very disappointed in this novel. The ending was off and I felt there could have been a better resolution.

Summary: Not Very Good
Review: This book was weird. It had a very weak plot and was hard tokeep up with who was who. I would recommend not to read it. It didn'tend right either. It just left you hanging.
