Perhaps he likes it a bit, but he is not a great fan. The "tampoco" (neither or either) may mean that he doesn't exactly hate it, but he doesn't like it a lot, either. The sentence is best understood as the continuation of some previous sentence, implied in this case.
Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
