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.

读后感
书比电影表达的多太多了，我喜欢看书时把出动心灵的句子划出来，这本书划了很多，电影里却只有那么几句，一定要读。 11.11.27补充，这种书没法翻译的，就像把金庸的武侠翻成英文，词汇字句和语言也许可以翻译，但文化是无法翻译的。把倚天屠龙记翻成英文，美国人一定不理解这...

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...
评分电影拍得很畅快,很意气风发,虽然也有诸多的不如意,但还是很好的展现了一个老练,积极的瑞恩.而这本小说呢?就好比你在一个很小的盒子中,被束缚住手脚,却要拼命伸懒腰的那种感觉.书中的瑞恩自大,消极,虚伪.并且我实在是受不了作者的发散性思维,东扯一句,西扯一句,看得浑浑噩噩
