This is a great book that begins a great fantasy series. Jordan develops his characters well, and knows his world inside and out, providing detail behind everything that happens. I highly recommend reading this book and the entire Wheel of Time series.

However, I must warn you that this book starts very slow. The first time I started reading it, I actually gave up on it, because it was hard to get in to and I made the mistake of starting it during a period where I didn't have much extra time to read. However, I went back later and gave it another shot. It turned out to be one of my favorite books, and is actually all the better because the slow start really sets the tone of what these people's lives are normally like before all of a sudden big stuff starts happening.

So, in summary, read this book. If you start reading it and don't think you like it, give it a couple hundred pages. I think you'll change your mind.
