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.
