Description

The most heartening aspect of Life! Death! Prizes! is Billy's one thought to care for Oscar, and he does all he can to make Oscar happy; and Oscar responds with obvious love for his older brother. There are some delightful episodes: after Billy has been encouraging Oscar to take more responsibility for their easy lifestyle and late nights Oscar responds "but Billy, I'm only six".

You saw the title of this book and now you’re wondering what it’s about. Where does the term ‘prizes’ fit in to a story about a grieving pair of brothers? Why are there exclamation marks?

The sadness of this tale is sown into every word of brilliant observational wit, social commentary and pop culture. As such, this reader found herself hurtling towards the finale in a never-quite-crying, never-quite-laughing state of perpetual unfolding. It is a well-crafted novel, which moves along with pace, builds in suspense and offers the reader many surprises. It is an emotional story. However, to rely on the cliché of the roller-coaster is to deny, entirely, the subtle art of May’s storytelling - ‘Life Death Prizes’ is a thoroughly modern novel, straddling the distance between our fears and expectations of a world, which is as daft as it is dark, painted for us, superbly, in all of its richness. There is, also, the smouldering mystery of the missing killer’s life, as Billy’s paranoia of his whereabouts grows, and we are offered a glimpse into what makes a criminal. Events are not neat or expected and an extraordinary ending will literally take your breath away.

That's something about the book that I found really interesting. In England, a nineteen-year-old can buy beer for kids. In England, a nineteen-year-old is seen as an adult. In America, some things that happen in the story would never be able to happen simply because of the difference in the way Americans versus the British see teenagers. It's really a question of what a kid is, what an adult is, when that change happens, and who has the right to say when it is. Aunt Toni obviously feels that Billy is not quite an adult yet, but Billy feels he is, and the courts don't dismiss him right off the bat, so they at least consider the option that he could be a responsible adult. That's part of why the book is sort-of New Adult, sort of just plain adult, because Billy acts like an adult but thinks like a teenager most of the time. I don't think the question is answered in the book, it's just an interesting thing to think about. Without wanting to give too much away, the fact that the book is in first person from Billy’s POV is used very well in misdirection. His history of Aidan Jebb, the boy who killed their mother, is convincing, and there are times when we are not sure whether we are seeing reality of some drug-induced hallucination. Billy isn’t sure, either, so I appreciate that’s the point. There are a couple of places, though, where I’m still unsure whether the misdirection is deliberate or not. For example, the bit where Billy’s attempted girlfriend Lucy is reading AA Milne to Oscar, Billy considers that a poem like that telling the story of James James Morrison Morrison wouldn’t be tolerated today, as it’s about child abduction. The thing is, of course, that it’s not about that at all (it is James James Morrison Morrison’s mother who disappears, not the boy himself), which leaves me unsure about whether it’s Billy or the author who is making this mistake.Nineteen year-old Billy Smith has an unhealthy obsession with the type of tabloid papers that print tales of the most horrific, downright stupid, and often tragic ways in which people can die. When his own mother’s life ends in a seemingly random act of violence, his world, and that of his much younger brother Oscar, is thrown into chaos. While Billy is trying his very best to take charge and hold on to some semblance of his normal life, all around him aunts, fathers, teachers, and co-workers are trying to force their own set of rules upon him in an attempt to take over control of his life.

To be entered into the Mystery Prize Giveaway, you need to share an image of the prize you have won across one social media platform! May’s razor sharp wit and realistic view of life, especially of a young person grieving while trying to figure out where they fit in the world, is simply fantastic. I couldn’t put this one down – to the point where I was reading while walking to find out what happened to Billy and Oscar.Lonely Planet Joy of Wild Swimming - Dive into 180 of the world’s most enticing wild swimming spots with this joyful book, featuring fascinating insights from experts and local voices, with beautiful photography, maps, and essential planning tips.
