A review by squeegybeckinheim
I'll Never Be Young Again by Daphne du Maurier

3.0

I loved the first part of this book but was left disappointed by the second part. The first had so much life and adventure, while the second was much more somber and portrayed Richard in a fairly negative light. He turned into a whiny, petulant, selfish child. I understand that this was a part of the story the author intended, but it did not flow as well as the beginning of the book. Though I appreciate how Richard ultimately ended up, I don't necessarily think the story needed to flow in the direction that it did. Who am I to question the story a particular author chooses to tell though? This certainly wasn't as good as Jamaica Inn or Rebecca, but was still mostly enjoyable.
