mariyamak 's review for:

Up in the Air by Walter Kirn
2.0

The novel started out strong but wandered all over the place in the second half. Perhaps it was Kirn's intention to show the unraveling of the main character through the unraveling of the narrative and writing style, but I'm not sure if I felt anything when I finished reading, even though the setup promised some self-reflection.

The film adaptation improved on the novel, taking the best aspects, but providing a tighter story and clearer meaning.
