I thought it wasn't even close to as powerful or thought- and emotion-provoking as The Giver. I'll wait to read your reaction to Messenger. Sometimes related books take a dip with the 2nd, a sophomore slump, and get better with the third. But the above comments make it sound like The Giver, the first, is the best.

Definitely read them in order.
