Your sentences with "both" are both wrong.
Neither book is interesting.
Both books are boring.
Not everybody likes it....is not the same as....Everybody doesn't like it.
It;s the same in Chinese: 不都 and 都不。

Correction: "Both books are interesting"
OR
"Neither book is interesting"
"Not everyone likes it" is correct.
