Hey, E-jay I just started reading more this year. I like reading different kinds of books too. I do think that one of the main characters with be unwound just to make more suspenseful and the rest will make it to 18. To make it more interesting I think someone needs to get unwound because like you said not every book should have a happy ending. In reality there are not that many happy endings if any at all. I think the book is good so far. I get what you are saying why you don't agree I just think it's really different compared to nows society but I get it's in the future and the society is really twisted like how the parents get to choose to have their kids unwound.
