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.

评分生活在云端，是现代都市人的真实写照，为工作奔波，来不及关心身边的亲人，等到回头才发现，失去了最珍贵的东西！
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...

"...the whole world goes quiet for a second..." when I saw your Les Yeux last summer.
评分文笔很狡黠
评分pathetic
评分書描寫的更孤獨。。。
评分书跟电影也差的太大了。。。Ryan在书里神经质多了，选George来演太温不够犀利啊！而且这完全就是本职场小说，consultant和marketing什么的。。。额，还是我学术了。。。
