Query: Awful

Gossip Girl was clearly meant to be some kind of teenage Sex and the City. In my opinion, it failed. It had no storyline to speak of, just a constant chain of pointless, meaningless and sometimes downright ludicrous events. And Gossip Girl herself, an anonymous internet scandal-monger, seemed to me to be an irritating and pointless gimmick, adding nothing to the book. The characters were shallow, bitchy, stupid and not even remotely likeable. I refuse to believe that people like this exist, in America or anywhere else. In short, it was vacuous drivel.
