Summary: What a disappointment!!!
Review: I wanted to read this book because 1)it's a period book (WW2) 2)Danielle Steele wrote it. I agree with most of the previous reviews regarding the repetition of Kate going back to Joe even though he breaks her heart. I kept thinking "surely she will wake up and move on" and that kept me reading, wondering how she would get over Joe for good. I was disappointed in the end to see she never really did get over him. I have loved Danielle Steele's books in the past, easy reading yet can't put down. This one I wish I had put down for good about half way through!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Danielle is slipping
Review: I've noticed in the past 2 years that Danielle Steel's books are slipping. It's taking me forever to continue reading this book. I find myself putting it down. That never happened in the 1980's and 90's. Her books were gold. My husband used to joke that I would get one of her books and pretty much finish it in 1 day, 2 the most. Now her books are not written as well as they used to be. I think the last good book I read of hers was The Wedding and Bittersweet. I have continued to buy her books (up to date) hoping they would be like they were in the past, but they're not. I don't know why her writing has changed or maybe she's putting too many books out too fast.

I miss the old Danielle Steel writing.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A great read for Steel fans
Review: I've read every book Danielle Steel's written and have only been dissapointed a time or two. Lone Eagle is one of my favorites. I read it during a difficult time in my marriage and it really helped me through. In typical Steel style, it is somewhat predictably romantic, but true fans won't be dissapointed.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best Danielle Steel
Review: Lone Eagle is the best book Danielle Steel has written, and I have read all of them. It has all the elements Steel's fans like: romance, suspense, wealth, and surprises. It is very good reading, easy to read. The setting in this book is veryb fitting, and while reading, I couldn't help but think I was watching the entire book unfold, instead of my reading it.

It is told in flashback style, "against a vivid backdrop of war and thrilling innovation. Danielle Steel breathes life into history, weaving an intensely human story that spans three decades. With rare insight and emotional power, she brings to life a tale of love and sacrifice, of holding on and letting go, of survival in the face of unthinkable loss. It is a novel of extraordinary grace and compassion from a master storyteller."

I was amazed by this historical tale, all the facts were very real to the reader and not something an author would make up to make the story complete. For instance, Steel mentions something and you immediately think, "I can't believe that is happening, but I know it's true" for whatever reason.

The storyline is one you won't forget. And, this book will be your favorite. Memories begin when a woman receives a phone call that her lover is dead. You will go back in time with her as she recalls the last 3 decades.

Get this book. You won't put it down until you are finished reading. Steel's book couldn't get any better. --
