As stated in our terms and conditions, it is your responsibility to make sure that all your account details When Billy's mother is killed in a bungled street robbery, the now orphaned nineteen year old boy is determined to look after his six year old step-brother Oscar, despite the advice of his aunt and the reappearance on the scene of Oscar's natural father who belatedly wants to claim him. In his own way Billy, who is doing a gap year before going off to university, does his best, but is it enough, especially once Social Services become involved? It's all very true-to-life, very council-estate modern soap opera story (as the title and magazines that Billy reads shows it is meant to be), and a refreshing read.

The book is a very realistic portrayal of a teenager caught in this situation, trying to convince his aunt, Oscar’s school, social services and the world in general that he is well and truly capable of looking after his brother. The reader is less convinced, with the evidence of inappropriate television habits, random bedtimes and Billy’s strategy of, when his mother’s cashcard finally runs out, of just not paying the bills because the electricity and gas companies wouldn’t dare disconnect them, going against his confidence. He does, however, mean well, and believe he is doing the right thing, and for that we can love him.

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. Billy begins to think that the best way to deal with things – the bills, the threats of custody hearings and concerns about Oscar’s wellbeing, is to just ignore it all and it will all go away soon enough. But that method doesn’t seem to be working very well and the stress begins to wear him down. It doesn’t help that he sees the face of his mother’s killer everywhere he goes, staring at him from across the street, approaching him in men’s rooms. Obsessed with finding him and having him caught, Billy is beginning to let go of the things that are really important. Now the upside of being a book reviewer—besides the lovely, free unreleased books—is the same as the downside. And, sometimes, I am pleasantly surprised. On occasions, I am absolutely blown away. So, where does “Life, Death, Prizes” fall? If my voice sounds like an echo it’s because I’ve been blown away to Kansas by this book. It proves a book—well-written—no matter what, is a good book. Writer-director Jay Cheelexplores the power of the seminal movies that scare and ensnare and the legends that surround them.
