I personally like A Storm of Swords, but you may not enjoy it as I do since you did not enjoy A Clash of Kings; ASoS takes a similar story-telling tune as ACoK.
A Game of Thrones is another popular favorite. Usually, for pre-series readers, it's because of its simplicity and well-paced narratives - the whole purpose of AGoT was to introduce you into the world and conflicts of A Song of Ice and Fire. For post-series readers, it's mainly because they can easily enjoy the faces of the characters and simply imagine many of the events going on - something quite difficult for those new to the language and style of G.R.R. Martin books.
A Feast for Crows is very good, too. But I'd like to think that many people don't enjoy it as much because it's unlike the series' past books. It shifts the POV off of many of the characters readers were used to in the previous books; and it even shifts the main settings away from many of the key cities Westeros towards the middle of its read.
Yet, all of them are good and worth finishing, especially if you're good in picking up foreshadowing hints and clues. The tedious conflicts in ASoS and the hard-to-absorb universe-building narratives of AFfC are all in the series for a purpose. ;)Out of the Game of thrones series?
By far A Feast for Crows is the worst and I would have to say A Storm of Swords is the best. I've written explanations in my book review blog if you wanna check it out:

So far I think Game of Thrones is the best. I'm having a heck of a time getting through A Feast for Crows, but I heard the the next one that just came out was really good, so keep reading.
