This book is definitely not for everybody. Many people die and much of what happens in this book is really sort of awful/terrible. The slow pace also means some people will find it boring, even though there's a lot of tension as well. In short: You need to be in the right frame of mind to feel that it's 'worth it' reading a book like this.
When I first started reading it, I wasn't in this frame of mind, and that meant that I eventually concluded I had to take a break from the book and then get back to it later. There was never any doubt I'd get back later, it's a brilliantly written book. But it's tough to read this one. It is well worth it, though.
If you've never seen the movie the book will probably hit you significantly harder than if you have read the book. But it hits you hard either way.

A somewhat disappointing read, the level of coverage here was not particularly high.

I found Rand's Rhuidean segments in the middle frankly a bit slow and boring, and it took longer than it needed to to get past that point in the book. But aside from those segments this was a very enjoyable book to read, and the Two Rivers segment in particular was quite powerful and made me shed a tear along the way.
