I think that this all shows how reading and literary taste is subjective.
Some people really like a plot-driven story and dislike long descriptions (so they won't like Proust). Others prefer the opposite (so probably won't like Dan Brown or Jeffrey Archer).
And I think that it's also possible to dislike a book and to agree that it's good by other people's standards. I've never been able to get along with Gabriel Garcia Marquez, though I concede that many other people think that he is a good writer. Doubtless it is my loss.
