this was an awesome book!!!!!

I loved this book, it was very interesting and a very realistic book. It had so many real life parts to it, like how one of the girls boyfriend is a little jerk, how one of the girls (laura) worries about her weight, how another girl is mad about her parents divorce, and how another girl wants her parents to get divorced because of an abusive father. I liked this book because one of the girls could see things others couldn't. I love that especially in Lois Duncan books. The only bad part in this book i think is that it was a bit confusing in the beginning because it kept switching from one girl to the other, but thats it. I recomend this book to anyone who has ever read Lois Duncan books and ever anyone else.

Daughters Of Eve

I have high opinions of Lois Duncan as a writer. She has written several thrilling stories including Daughters Of Eve. Though I wouldn't consider Daughters Of Eve a suspenseful drama, I would consider it a dramatic mystery.It all starts when the most popular club in school is assigned to a new leader, Irene Stark, who has a malicious hate and relentless grudges towards all men. Her past is haunted by a confrontation at her old school where she taught another Daughters Of Eve chapter, when she was forced to resign and replaced by a male. Bitterness run through her veins as she is put leader to another Daughters Of Eve club in a school called Modesta High. While comforting her students through their troubles and teenage problems, she at the same time brainwashes all of them into believing all men are trying to dissolve woman's rights to be independent. Her sly words and sneaky exploitation builds the same kind of hate that she feels for men instilled into the girls of Daughter Of Eve. When one of the girls leaves town after trying to commit suicide because a boy broke her heart, the Daughters Of Eve takes drastic actions in creating revenge. This leading to other kinds of horrible plots and broken friendships towards all men that they accuse of doing wrong. Making awful accusations to not only men, but to the innocent.And when another girl leaves the group because she feels the club is becoming too violent and deceptive, Irene doesn't only do what she can to keep the girl quiet, but also telling lies to the other girls in the process of her manipulation.Even though this isn't one of Lois Duncan's most suspenseful books, it is one of my favorites.

Daughters of Eve was a great book

This was a great book! How could anyone say it wasn't! I guess a lot of young mystery readers just can't understand it. It is not just about feminism-the whole feminism issue is just an example. What Lois Duncan is trying to get across is that this Daughters of Eve club, is like a cult. It explains what a cult can do to you-how it can suck you in. It also shows how taking things too far, like feminism in this case, can be really screwed up. I loved the way it ended, I didn't expect it to end at that moment! But it did! It was so shocking. Some people say that they hated the book, but that just goes to show that some people can't read anything with a little depth....just read the book; it's awesome.

Thrilling!

This book is one of the best book I have ever read. It's very well told and extremely descriptive.It also reflects teenagers' lives and whoever reads it often find something in common w/ one of the characters. I love this book!

LOVED IT FOR 20 YEARS!

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.
