Book Review

Prisoner of Trebekistan: a decade in Jeopardy By Bob Harris. It is a fantastic read for anyone who is a fan of Jeopardy or is from Cleveland. Bob, himself, is from "the Snow Belt" as he continuously calls it. Specifically, he grew up in Mentor, but now lives in L.A. He likens his winning and losing on Jeopardy to the heartaches felt by Browns fans everywhere, by eluding to "The Pass", "The Drive", and "The Fumble".

Of course, as with any good book, there should be a moral or two. I won't give away too much, but let's just say that Bob becomes enlightened. We witness his growth and wisdom over a span of ten years accompanied by engaging wit and trivia.
