具体描述
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
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

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...
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!

我被这本书总结的体无完肤,重新认识了自我
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。
