Ryan Bingham’s job as a Career Transition Counselor–he fires people–has kept him airborne for years. Although he has come to despise his line of work, he has come to love the culture of what he calls “Airworld,” finding contentment within pressurized cabins, anonymous hotel rooms, and a wardrobe of wrinkle-free slacks. With a letter of resignation sitting on his boss’s desk, and the hope of a job with a mysterious consulting firm, Ryan Bingham is agonizingly close to his ultimate goal, his Holy Grail: one million frequent flier miles. But before he achieves this long-desired freedom, conditions begin to deteriorate.
With perception, wit, and wisdom, Up in the Air combines brilliant social observation with an acute sense of the psychic costs of our rootless existence, and confirms Walter Kirn as one of the most savvy chroniclers of American life.

评分 评分先看了书才去看电影,早上整理那一箱子从北京到上海到合肥到绵阳到普罗维登斯再到纽约满世界陪着我跑的书看到这本,才想起来如果说Ryan的日程是以天为单位到达离开,我就是以年。曾几何时这种居无定所飞来飞去well orgnized了无牵挂的生活是我所向往的,因为这样可以永远保持pr...
评分I got to the last page, I was outraged. Another abrupt ending, what was that all about? It left me hanging there, dangled. "Just that. No more. 'We are here'." Short, succinct sentences like this are powerful. Just as the protagonist who used these sentence...
评分对于书,没有看过,无法去真实去评论什么,也许,这个评论写在这里有点奇怪,突然想起了那种失落的感觉,姑且就放在这里吧。 关于电影,看完一整遍,很想再看一遍,于是又看了一遍,我想电影也是从小说改编过来,多少带着书里信息。主人公的那种生活,行走在云端之中,不能自拔...
和電影大不相同。我很明白為了要叫人有興趣看下去,電影總是不得不曲解或者調整原著的主旨和重點;《刺蝟的優雅》即是一例。書好過電影很多,但還不足以有很高的評價;不怨它,只是我向來不太喜歡太接地氣的當代小說而已。
