My first and favorite Lois Duncan. Absolutely thrilling. ( )

I loved this book as a teenager in the '80's. A good suspense book - the teacher becomes more and more intense and radical as the school year progresses and each of the "Daughters" reacts to this in a different way. The epilogues are particularly interesting. ( )

The Daughters of Eve is the most exclusive club in high school with only 10 members. The girls provide each other with comfort and friendship. Under the guidance of their sponsor (who has been wronged by men in the past), they are moved to strike out against the injustice and discrimination found in their school and in their own homes. Slowly but surely, however, the loyalty of the 'sisters' is twisted into cruelty and the club takes on a far more sinister nature.

This book was written in 1979 and it shows. The girls are expected to help out at home while the boys have funds set aside for college and need do nothing around the house. As a portrait of manipulation and the power of peer pressure, this book holds some value. It's not badly written, but it lacks the timeless qualities of books like 'The Wave'. ( )

I met her at a conference and do enjoy their books even though they are on the fluff side. ( )

I don't remember much about this book, but it's a pretty dark and interesting look into the lives of sorority girls. ( )
