Personally, I think the slog is worth it. A lot of the hate for the middle section comes from the people who were reading the books as they were released and, with no end in sight, criticized them for being filler material or suggested that Jordan let the story get away from him. In hindsight this isn't really true and there are a lot of important developments, but the pacing is definitely slower.
Crossroads of Twlight has a well deserved reputation though.
