Ullals

The last 2nd of May I could go to a meeting with one of the authors that has written tha book Ullals. I'm part of the Reading Club of my high school and Ullals is the last book that we read. The authors of the book are Salvado Macip and Sebastià Roig. 

Salvador Macip is a doctor and now he is working in England as a part of the laboratory of the University of Leicester and before he had been working in the hospital Mount Sinai in New York. He could't come to the meetig. Sebastià Roig can because he life near Castelló, in Figueres. He is a journalist an writer. 

What join together them was their love about science fiction books, their love about comics an their love about science fiction films. Sebastià Roig explained us that they met because he was the only subscriber of one magazine where Salvador Macip wrote. Then the magazine stopped published and they started to collaborate together. Two of them liked write and they started  science fiction book together. It cost them a lot because they didin't know how to continue and it took them a lot of time to finish the book. When they finally finished it, they wanted to wrote another one. By chance, Sebastià Roig listened in he news about one weird case just in the Alt Empordà. Som adolecsences had reported the reformatory where they had scaped because they where battered in there. So Salvador and Sebastià decided to start a book based in this real facts. Of corse, they have invented some thing about the story, too. 

The main character is Vincent, a teenager boy that have behavior problems and problems with drugs. They parets, like every summer, bring them to a reformatory, but this time all wolud be different than other years. In the reformatory he have to work hard if he wants to eat some food that in addition it is disgusting. Vincent has to obey if he don't want to be punish, but he only wants to scape and go home. 

It's no eassy: the house is in the middle of the forest, away from civilization, and what is more, they are not alone in the forets. All the forest is infested by some kind of monsters. This monsters atacks every night the house and for this, in the morning, Vincent and his tow other partners have to build a protecction wall. 

Vincent trys to scape a lot of times but he is always discovered by people of the house. He trys to scape with his tow partners but they are discovered again. Finally, one night that the monsters are about to enter, Vincent takes  advantage of the caos of the situation and with his fried can scape to the forest. They are very tired because of the days in the house where they were battered and they have to follow differents path to save them. Only one of them can get out of the forets, but...which of them? (sorry, I don't like to explain the end of the books)

I think that can meet with the writer of the book that you have just read is a great experience because you can ask all the questons that you can have after finish a book. You can know more about the characters and you can know how was the book wrote, in what was inspired, because happened some tihings... And moreover it is an experience that only few people can have. 

Sebastià explained to us that there was the ideo to make a film of the book. They had the acots and the plot but unfortunately they could't find enouth money to do.
