I'm the same. Not that I enjoy subpar storytelling, but even fantastic storytelling can feel unreadable to me if the writing rubs me the wrong way. I've been skewered for saying I can't finish more than a chapter or two before abandoning King novels because his writing irritates me that badly. And yet I enjoy almost every tv/movie adaptation of his work because his storytelling is strong enough that even a butchered version of it is still captivating more often than not. I have no doubt they're lacking compared to the books, but I can't stand the books enough to find out, so the tv/movie versions are good enough for me lol.
