Daughters of Eve

Rating:
Summary: it's okay
Review: it's not terrible. it's okay. it was very difficult and confusing to read in the beginning but afterward the story found its pace and became more readable. the ending is kind of disappointing because the book gets to worked up, you think that they're going to do something real evil and cruel, but what they do isn't quite as despicable as you'd think they'd do. it's a good effort, but in the end it disappoints.

Summary: Quite possibly the worst book I have ever read
Review: "Sworn to secrecy. Bound by loyalty. It's the high school's most exclusive club--but now a twisted mind is leading it. Who will be the first victim?" "Wow! This book's going to be awesome!" I thought. (Plus the blood on the candle on the cover) BOY, was I wrong! What happened here?! Lois Duncan can write much better than this! This is not the first Lois Duncan book I have read, but it is by far the worst. Okay. So she decides to write a book that shows how men can often mistreat women. Fine. I don't care what theme she decides to use, and I am not saying that some of the things that went on in this book don't go on in real life. The thing with which I had a problem was the way Lois Duncan displayed her theme in this book. I think she should have spent less time showing that women are mistreated and more time making the book interesting. I'm not saying that there should be something happening every second, but most of Lois Duncan's other books have been at least interesting enough to keep me reading, but this book was boring, and it wasn't interesting. The only reason I read the whole thing is because I kept telling myself "it'll get good." But it didn't! It was pointless, and it went nowhere. The characters weren't well developed, and I didn't even care who was whom. Another thing is that the book struck me as brain-washing. However, this is just my opinion. As you may have guessed after reading this, I am not a girl. So this book may appeal more to girls.

Summary: GREAT BOOK ENDS TO QUICKLY
Review: I thought that this was a great book. I was just disapointed to see it end so quickly. Is there going to be a sequel? I think people should read it. I gave it to my little sister to read.

Summary: Great book, just too many characters
Review: This book is great.It just has too many characters.It was hard to keep track of who was who.It was great reading about the punishments the had for people who treated them unfair. It was great how Louis Duncan did a book about people who treat woman unfair.I wish that there could be a sequel for this book because this one was great!!!If there was a club like this one I would join it.

Summary: It could have made more sence.
Review: I've read 3 if not 4 of Lois Duncan's books and all of them have been very good. Daughters of Eve could have been better. Most of her books make me want to read the whole thing in one night, this one I really didn't care.

Summary: A great book, but hard to stay with the characters!
Review: I read this book a week ago, and liked it a lot, but there were times when I didn't know who was who. There really isn't one main character, it's all of the members of Daughters of Eve. This book is still a good read.

Summary: A Fast Paced, Entertaining Book
Review: This book was really wonderful! I am a huge fan of Lois Duncan and I found this book, along with "Ransom" and "Down a Dark Hall" to be among her best! Buy this book...you won't regret it.

Rating:
Summary: You can really communicate with the characters.
Review: Lois Duncan does a wonderful job comparing the jobs of men and woman in this realistic story. You can feel the pain in the characters as they begin to realize that the world they used to know and feel comfortable with is really a big sexist world out to take advantage of women and girls every where, or so they are told. This book is very well-written and so are many of her other books.

Summary: This has been a favorite of mine since I was 14!
Review: This is one of L. Duncan's best! The characterizations are excellent, the plot is tight and fast moving and the messages (about cliques, elitism, revenge, and following the "pack") are timeless. I would recommend it to any teen. Like the other reviewer, I've loved this gem for years!

Summary: LOVED IT FOR 20 YEARS!
Review: Great book, I'm looking into the possibilty of turning it into a film or play, loved it as a child, love it as an adult. Very powerful message, especially for a young adult book. As someone who is interested in cliques, elite groups, sororities and the like, this book says it all. Even for fiction, it's very realistic. It's Duncans best.
