I didn't enjoy "Escape from Spiderhead" as much as "Victory Lap". I thought it was weird and didn't really think it had a point other than being a human guinea pig stinks, though I could see a future where this situation could take place. I think if you're saying that its about complete oppression of a person then I would reply that the facility in the book is pretty similar to our current prison system
I think here you miss the importance of theme throughout the stories-- try to look for motifs and similarities, and you might come to appreciate the story a bit more. Following your logic, I liked Escape From Spiderhead more because the only thing I learn from that is that being kidnapped as a 15 year old girl "stinks."
