I agree about King, although his short stories/novella's can be excellent.
The Still, by David F..., quite possibly the worst book I've ever read. 500 pages of drivel.
Anything that involves the typical outsider coming into a new world/situation and being the only hope because of his/her outside perspective (Thomas Covenant books come to mind here)
Anything that involves spunky kids saving the day because they're smarter/faster/cuter than the adults (Several Michael Chriton books come to mind here)
