The "Great" Gatsby

This novel filled me with different and contrary feelings. I like it, i hate it. I found it interesting but sometimes extremely boring. The overwhelming and exceeding decriptions of the characters, places and situations made it hard to understand. The contradictions of the characters made it interesting for me. Gatsby was a respectfull character for me at the beginning even though he was a liar and an unreliable man. His efforts to find his true lover deserved appreciation but after a while when i read the following chapters i lost my respect for Gatsby and Gatsby became a miserable, pitiable and dishonourable character.I dont want to talk about the end of the story because it was unintelligable and not creative. I think the writer didn't choose a proper name for the novel. I think it should be The Hapless and Miserable Gatsby.
