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.
在云端 就是一种感觉 飘着! 书没看 只看电影了!! 整篇就一个感觉 飘着 工作飘着 路途飘着 情感飘着 看完后自己不能出差 总感觉飘着 下不来 不踏实 喜欢飞机落地的感觉
评分不知道为何,畅销书总给我的印象是“浮云”,因为畅销的概念是千人万人读它,读它的某一面,而这本书要表达的对人这个社会动物在不同阶层不同年龄阶段的感悟和体验,我觉得我在电影里看到的比书上要多。 “畅销”有它的理由,这个故事确实表达了主人公的困惑,我觉得...
评分每个人每天的生活就像是在云端,明白了,什么都可以放下,却什么也放不下,那些放不下的,就成了心头的结,而那些放下的,就像空中的云!忙碌重要,但不要忘记了自己所爱~
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...
评分没有读过这本书,但看过电影。电影给我的最大印象是男主角在工作上的成熟和稳重,但在与亲人相处中又很生涩。电影感觉有点悲伤,似乎男主角一直都处在一种孤单中。当他想回归家庭时,亲人已经不再需要他了,当他想自己组建家庭时,又发现这只不过是别人的一场游戏,似乎他能够...
小说有点杂乱,没有电影那么脉络清晰。

评分生词一般多
评分我被这本书总结的体无完肤,重新认识了自我
评分先看了书才去看电影,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professional的状态,永远keep busy and forget about how sucked your life is. 但是,说到底人不是机器,一切了不起和伟大最终都安抚不了寂寞的心,越是无所谓其实越是在孤独无爱的无奈中挣扎的面具,这时候发现自己有一颗心但是在错误的时间错误的地点给人当了back up才他妈叫做悲剧,不过谁一辈子没被当过备胎,只不过是有的备胎以为自己是真爱,除去表象,爱得死去活来算是真?说到底真的走进一个人的心,即使一年飞300天也不会寂寞,因为知道总有个anchor point,总有人在等着你支持你,总有东西是你奋斗的动力
