Query: A shallow, pathetic look at career women in the nineties

This book is funny for about five minutes (and I'm being generous)... Bridget Jones is a classic example of a shallow, pathetic woman who views her career as a way to find a suitable husband, defines herself by who she sleeps with, how much she weighs, and sees parties as opportunities to get drunk. You keep hoping that she will see the light and start to grow up but she never does and the book never seems to end. So much more could have been done with this character, I expected a lot more...
