Review Killing Mr. Griffin was written in in 1997 by Lois Duncan. Who is Lois Duncan? Lois Duncan was born in Sarosta, Florida. When she was a young girl, she even wanted to be a writer. Until now she wrote over 50 books, many of them won awards. Killing Mr. Griffin is written in the third person narrator. The book isn´t very big, but very exciting. In the beginning of the story, Mr. Griffin flunks Mark because he plagiarized his exam paper and now Mark wants his revenge on him. As Mark tells his friends, Jeff, David, and Betsy about his plan on kidnapping Mr. Griffin, they were all hesitant at first, but some how Mark convinced them to help. But, there was a problem, they needed someone to lure Mr. Griffin into their trap so Mark tells David to “ask” Susan to make a conference with Mr. Griffin so they can kidnap him as he walks out to the parking lot. On the day of the plan Susan was walking out with Mr. Griffin to the parking and that’s when David gets in action and kidnaps Mr. Griffin. After that Betsy came to pick up Susan to bring her to the waterfall where they are keeping Mr. Griffin, but she refuses because the last thing she heard Mr. Griffin say was “RUN!” before David puts a bag over his head. At the waterfall, Mark is trying to make Mr. Griffin beg for his life because in the past Mr. Griffin made Mark beg him to let him retake the class after he was caught plagiarizing his exam papers. As hard as they tried to make him beg, Mr. Griffin refuses to beg, so for the time being they just left him there while they headed back home. As night came, Susan got worried so she and David went to the waterfall to check on Mr. Griffin, but to their surprise he was dead! Here some questions: What would do the students??? Will they go to the police??? Why died Mr. Griffin??? What happens then??? So I think it is a good book because it make you thoughts about life and it is very exciting. Also it is well written and easy to read. Also show well the relationships between the characters. The expression of the author is legible and understandable. Finally, I say that the book is good and I recommend it further.

It's Not the best book ive read but its entertaining. First off i have to say the role models/messages are not good. The language is mainly words like sh*t and d*mn (they ussually say dang). There are also some more words like p*ssy and i think b*tch was used once. Near the begining there is underage drinking and drugs. Overall this book was really violent, this includes one accidental murder, one intended murder, and one attempted murder.
