Up in the air/Walter Kirn

Up in the air/Walter Kirn 362 pgs.

NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE! brags the cover of this book. I haven't seen the movie yet but hear it has very little in common with the book. From just looking at the reviews of the movie, I must agree. The book was interesting. Ryan Bingham's job as a career transition counselor keeps him on the go. He thinks of his world as "air world". He has given up his apartment and really is a road warrior with no home base. The book focuses on his goal of 1 million frequent flier miles and talks a lot about his relationships with fellow travelers and his family. I really enjoyed the book and would definitely read another by Kirn. - Christa
