Life's Lottery
''Life's Lottery'' is a speculative fiction novel by Kim Newman, published in 1999. Loosely connected to Newman's ''The Quorum'', ''Life's Lottery'' is written in second-person and invites the reader to assume the role of the protagonist, an Englishman named Keith Marion, and make decisions that determine the character's life and death. Because ''Life's Lottery'' can be read not only as a standard novel but also in a traditional gamebook format, it is often classified as a "''Choose Your Own Adventure'' book for adults".
==Plot summary==
''Life's Lottery'' opens speculating on the question of free will and predestination. The reader is invited to decide for themselves which philosophy to follow in reading the book and then is presented with Keith's birth in England on October 4, 1959. Keith is raised in England by a successful banker and has, as the author points out, "been dealt a better hand than many". The boy is spoiled by his parents and enters primary school shy and timid. The book offers its first choice on the first day, when Keith is confronted and teased by a gang. The consequences of the choice - "Napoleon Solo or Illya Kuryakin?" - set Keith on a path that determines his lifelong friends, enemies, and opportunities.
Following this key point, the plot paths diverge wildly, and range from Keith winning the lottery, becoming a distinguished novelist, making a bomb threat, having an incestuous affair, committing a murder, and making a deal with the Devil.
