I guess a 3/5 overall, but I strongly recommend reading The Giver even if you decide to give the other books a miss. I’m not even sure that I can give this series a rating as a whole because of the wildly differing ratings between books. However, while I found The Giver as brilliant as ever, I felt that the other books really dropped off, especially Messenger, and, to some extent, Son. So I was pretty excited to dive into this quartet. It had been many years since I originally read The Giver (and was mind-blown by it), and until recently I didn’t even realize that there were other books that followed it.
