I cannot say whether I like or dislike Gollum or his alter ego but do find his character fascinating because it is such a constant battle for him to just exist. The ring has so polluted someone who was pretty unwholesome to start with and yet tiny fragments of his life in the riverbank with his Grandmother act like snow queen's shards in his heart even after 500 years. A brilliant character, not necessarily a favourite one.
