From the opening chapters on, it was clear the author had done her research. All of the technology, the political environment and the state of global climate were a realistic portrayal of the future that’s already unfolding.Overall, it was an easy read with an interesting cast of characters. I think there’s appeal for both teens and adults. The book takes a critical look at some weighty subjects, like technology’s impact on privacy, government control, and the devastating impacts of climate change, but it’s packaged in a way that makes it engaging and accessible. The present tense narration lent to the sense of immersion in the story, and I found it to be a fitting choice for a novel that takes place in the future. Mathew was the classic “unlikely hero” sort, with a good balance of creativity and adventurousness to make him endearing. His weaknesses and flaws make him believable, but he’s also driven.Because this book presents a fully realized future vision, there is a fair amount of exposition at points in the novel. I found some of this exposition to be a bit heavy-handed, breaking away from the scene to explain functionality or design specifics. Though I would have liked some of that information to be more smoothly integrated into the narrative and action, I was fascinated enough by the content that those cutaways weren’t overly distracting.The story is not complete with this one volume, with the end begging for an immediate read of the next volume. But, I am greatly looking forward to going along for the ride with this trilogy!
13 of 14 people found the following review helpful. Beautifully written. By Mattie This was a beautifully written story. Also the editing and proofreading appeared flawless. I appreciate that.This story is outside of my normal genres. But I totally enjoyed it nonetheless. The future worlds created were amazing. By the details given, one could visualize where the author took us. I enjoyed the characters, the mystery and the thought provoking problems of the future. Jule has a sequel to this and I anticipate it to be just as good, and probably better!
4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Very glad this is only Part 1! By Amazon Customer Innovative, imaginative, tantalising futuristic fantasy which I loved.I read the first two chapters of The Boy Who Fell from the Sky on a train out of London. Somewhat appropriate, as events in the novel would later show. I was immediately intrigued to see where the opening sentences would lead me as I was bombarded by the physical sensations and vivid colours of fast-moving action. I was then quickly yanked from this world neither I nor the protagonist had had chance to figure out into a very different world of technology that filled me with a sudden sense of foreboding. House robots and driverless cars gave me a glimpse of a futuristic environment where I half expected a Terminator-type metal spike to protrude from the friendly domestic helper pottering around the kitchen.Relieved that no one appeared to be about to come to a sticky end, at least for now, I read on and was drawn into a fascinating story in a London created by the powerful imagination of Jule Owen. As one of the characters later states: “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” This encapsulates what I love about the book as it satisfies the need for intrigue and interest future tech can provide along with my secret urge for a little other worldly, borderline magic, (almost) inexplicable stuff!This novel gave me interest on many different levels from individual to worldwide; from everyday London landmarks I recognise to a London I hope never to see. As well as being an excellent story to read, there is a serious and sinister thread running throughout which I see as a clear message to all of us to clean up our act before it’s too late and we totally destroy the beautiful place we inhabit and exchange it for somewhere I would never wish to travel to. The somewhat scary part is that 2055 is really not so far off.Yet I’m a cup-half-full person and I love the optimism embodied in the idea that “there is something sublime” in every one of us. I may be uncomfortable and disturbed by this future London, just about recognisable as a version of the London I was whizzing in and out of as I read this book but I am left with a feeling that through the action the novel’s main characters are taking, there is still hope for all of us.As they say in the later chapters: “The proper place for people is under the sky, not in tunnels and caves.” Let that be a warning to us. But don’t let that spoil our enjoyment of this thoroughly entertaining book which was a joy to read.So glad I have already downloaded the sequel!
