Wonderfully written. *by M***R on Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2016* Wonderful HOT LIST Novel from WATTPAD, the future of new writers. From the Authors Synopsis: The world is falling apart in 2055. Floods have devastated London, on the eve of the First Space War. With the city locked down, sixteen-year-old Mathew Erlang is confined to his house with only his cat, his robot and his holographic dragons for company.Desperate for a distraction from the chaos around him, Mathew becomes fascinated by his peculiar and reclusive neighbour, August Lestrange, and begins to investigate, turning to the virtual world of the Nexus and Blackweb for answers. But as he digs deeper, Mathew realises that Mr. Lestrange isn't a normal man at all.When Mathew accidentally finds himself trapped in Lestrange’s house, he opens a door and falls four hundred years into the future. Unwittingly, he starts to destabilise the course of human history.The Boy Who Fell from the Sky delves into a future where climate change and technology have transformed the world. It is the first book in the House Next Door trilogy, a young adult dystopian science fiction action adventure.The book is well written, characters are real, believable, the plot tight, the dialogue complete and wonderfully entwined with twists and turns not expected. The characters are group of teens as well as adults. There is an appeal to both young adults and adults alike. Unlike many stories on Amazon and Create Space the editing and proofreading is flawless so you won't see grammatical or punctuation errors at every turn.This book takes a great look at some controversial subjects bringing you to the end wanting more and there is more. This is a series of books and I can't wait until I see the end. I am enthralled by the story wanting to know what happens, will have to wait until the next two books are available.A profound look at the future.***I am grateful to have received this product for a discounted rate in exchange for my personal, honest, unbiased and non-compensated review.Please if you found this review helpful in making your decisions, please press the “Yes” button below. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars I fell through the crack. *by J***L on Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2016* A boy falls into a forest. This reminds me of the opening to Predators.Then we follow the goings on (not really exploits) of Matthew Erling Erlang in the not too far future. London has been flooded in parts, and this has caused day curfews to be put in place except for a select few people. Matthew's mom is one of those people that has to leave for work every day (in a hired car), but Matthew has to stay home and do his school work and attend class and lectures virtually.And then things get bizarre.There were many cool technological advances that appear to be where we are headed. How cool would it be to program a couple of dragons that are pretty much autonomous, at least in the VR world in which they are created? 3D printing is ubiquitous and capable of more than just the plastic-type material available now. This is exciting to read and imagine!Less exciting is the governmental parties making plays for things and using tragedy and disaster to their own ends. That could never happen in our world, right?I was about to hand out 5 stars for this book until the end of the book. Then I discover this is the first in a trilogy, and the book just stops. There is one statement that's supposed to just wash away all the questions raised along the way, or so it appears. I'm not satisfied at this ending at all. At least the second book can be obtained for free. Definitely want to read on.[first posted on Goodreads, same day] ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars A captivating glimpse of the future *by T***H on Reviewed in the United States on September 28, 2015* Some books transport the reader into a new reality—this is one of those stories. 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! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/20383972-the-boy-who-fell-from-the-sky-the-house-next](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/20383972-the-boy-who-fell-from-the-sky-the-house-next) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
