Our YA tastes are fairly similar, but I actually meant, from a LW sort of standpoint, will I find any good quotes or lessons, any interesting problems or dilemmas, that sort of thing? From the sound of your 'Some ideas', it sounds fairly ordinary liberalism (in the old Enlightenment and 1984 sense).
If I'd read them as a kid, I think it would have had a big impact (which my current self would consider to be positive), especially the last book. As an adult, I think the thing to admire is that the author didn't chicken out in the ending of the 3rd book.
