The best series of all time would have to be the Sword of Truth series, by Terry GoodKind. There are defiantly slow points and slow books but there are tons of memorable characters which you fall in love with, many turns to the plot that you never saw coming, and times where you're yelling at the book trying to help the characters. The biggest downfall to the books is it seemed the plot was wrapped up too quickly in the last 100 or 50 pages. Still, they are my favorite books.
I've created a big purple mess... And I'll do it again too.
