It has been too many years for me to remember exactly what it was about his style that I didn't enjoy.
Generally, when I say I don't like someone's style, I'm not talking about the author's command of the language or the quality of his story. Typically, I just can't relate to the author's voice.
It's a matter of taste and not a criticism.
The best way to describe what I mean by voice is to compare Crichton and King.
In a book by M. Crichton, he's almost invisible. Reading his books are like watching a movie. Whereas King's books are like sitting down with the town gossip. You get the story, the background and everything else. You can't forget that someone is telling you a story in a book by S King. I enjoy both but both have radically different voices.
