I've never gotten past the first 40 pages of a book I didn't like, so I guess I can technically say that I've liked every book I've read.
I am a fan of Stephen King, and I will say this about his writing; he is a master storyteller who is also obssessed with the language. Some writers tell good stories but don't use good wording (John Grisham). Other writers use great wording but don't tell very good stories. Stephen King does both, but I can understand if some people don't like to muddle through his wording.
If you don't like Richard Brautigan, Ken Kesey, JD Salinger, or William Golding, then you will not like Stephen King, either.
And I'm not suggesting that King is as "good" as those other writers, but his writing is of a similar thrust.
