VERY enjoyable book. It's particularly interesting for trivia enthusiasts as he talks plenty about various trivia "outlets" (and at length). He has a GREAT writing style and a hefty portion of the book is his personal story (of Jeopardy!) from audition to winning which he keeps light and entertaining. I love trivia so I totally enjoyed this book.

A great read even if you are not a trivia nut. Combines personal experience in becoming a legendary Jeopardy champion and social history of trivia clubs and competitions around the world. The author is not at all stuck up about his success, which makes him refreshing as a narrator.
