A review by tahoorahashmi
Lone Eagle by Danielle Steel

3.0

This book is based on the years from 1974 to present. About two soulmates how they met & truly deeply CRAZILY fell in love & all the hardships that came between them once the WWII started & even later. The female lead Kate wanted to get married, have a family but Joe loved his planes, he was a pilot and soon when he started building his business after his surival in the WWII he became one of the most important men in the history of aviation. Joe loved his work but started having almost no time for Kate. He had to choose one. Or at least try to balance it. This lead to whole lot of chaos in their personal life, which the book is all about.

⬇What I think about the book⬇

💭The character development was brilliant & so was the writing style.

💭The thing about Danielle Steel's books is that they make me angry & make me wanna have an argument with the character or atleast slap them real hard. They get irritating bc they make too many stupid mistakes but then when you take a step back & think about it, its all out there. The matters she speaks about indirectly exist in real world. Maybe they are SUPPOSED TO make you angry so that you can see the signs of it when you are dealing with real life situations & not do the same.
Idk but I felt there was a lot about "women sacrifice" in it. How the wife always have to sacrifice her needs or parts of herself in order to make the man stay. Honestly. IT BOILED MY BLOOD. Just seeing how Joe was always trying to run away when things got hard, leaving her to weep alone & would come back later whenever he finds the need & Kate blaming herself later BISH WTH. Sadly it reminded me of some people I know. WHY DO ONLY WOMEN HAVE TO MAKE SUCH SACRIFICES?! WHY CANT MEN HAVE SOME BALLS AND TAKE OTHER RESPONSIBILITIES SERIOUSLY & NOT JUST EARNING?!

💭The continuity when changing the plot could've been better. A couple of parts felt like those "sigh only happens in books & movies" scenes which breaks your thinking process since its too obvious or way too coincidental.
.
💭The 3/4 of the book was straught up 5/5 but in the end I felt like the author was struggling to have a stable plot.
