It's my wife's all time favorite show, so I really tried. Some of the early arcs were a drag (cough, cough, Arabasta, cough). But from Water 7 through Marineford it just got better and better, and I really enjoyed it. Even after the time skip Dressrosa and Whole Cake were for the most part engaging. But man, Wano was such a slog. By the time they finished the flashback, I just didn't give a shit about that island anymore. I'm tempted to just skip to Egghead, or give One Pace a shot.
