I've actually found it's the exact opposite: the Hunger Games series has a quite noticeable lack of depth, that's part of the reason people still dismiss it as "YA Battle Royale". The whole revolutionary plot felt weightless because the setting and its big evil rulers were only ever loosely-sketched cartoon villains.

There's not really a "point" to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, although I have read an annotated copy with some interesting facts about it: apparently the story was partly inspired by Lewis Carroll's hatred of modern algebra, which was new at the time. Most of the stuff about Alice changing size was him poking fun at how ridiculous the idea of things like imaginary numbers, multiplying negative numbers, etc.
