Hard to say any book competes with the Bible in terms of its personal effect on my life. Most memorable part has got to be the end. There was chaos sprinkled into other parts but the end is just off the walls. I won't spoil it, but an important character shows up again (although there were hints that it's going to happen if you pay attention).
Overall, I probably wouldn't recommend it. It's got a lot of shifting protagonists and time jumps, has many sections that are a slog to get through, and is not subtle whatsoever in the values it is trying to instill on its reader. There's also the plot holes. Oh, and expect to find spoilers everywhere since it's been out for a while.
On the other hand, it has a huge cult following with lots of active discussion so there's definitely a sense of community if you are a fan. They are also very welcoming to new fans, although invetibly you will run into plenty of gatekeeping.
