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.
对于大多数人来说,大多数人之所以选择这本书还是因为先看过根据小说改编的同名电影,作为该书的“影像卡隆版”,电影曾获奥斯卡最佳导演、最佳影片、最佳男主角、最佳女配角及最佳改编剧本等在内的共计六项提名。 我没看过电影,若论文字与画面两者对于脑部记忆体的...
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...
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...
评分书跟电影差距真的特别大,不知道为什么,总觉得跟《白鹿原》的电影原著有神似感: 电影对原著做了大量删节和改编,“两性关系”被提升到了重要地位,即电影中都平白无故多了一个漂亮诱人的女主角,但原著本身则并非是讲女人和男人的故事,《白》是从两大家族去窥视历史的变迁,...
评分"To know me you have to fly with me. Sit down. I'm the aisle, you're the window —— trapped"
评分读起来很闷啊,有点看不下去了,是因为阅历还不够吗?
评分还好吧。
评分非常爱的一部电影,小说原版更棒~! You hardly settle yourself to satisfaction before you are called by an irresistible call to depart.
评分書描寫的更孤獨。。。
