Who Is Alex Trebek?: A Biography Hardcover – July 21, 2020

It was a great book

I bought this for my wife even though we are both fans of the show.We came away from this knowing more about him and having answers to some questions we wondered about. We would love to meet him and his family some day. We are praying for his recovery from that terrible disease. The book was wonderfully written and pleasure to read.

I have watched Jeopardy off and on for most of my life - and Alex Trebek is my favorite host! So, while I generally do not like autobiographies, I bought his. And it was worth it! Unlike many autobiographies, his is like a series of short stories that can be enjoyed together or separately. I picked it up and read it straight through until it was complete, but I could see taking your time and reading it in bits and pieces. It would all work! If you love Jeopardy, I recommend this book. And if you are not exactly at the level of the players on Jeopardy, you can still love this book!

I have watched Jeopardy for years and always admired Alex Trebek. This book was absolutely wonderful...read it in one sitting!!! Could NOT put it down.

So far enjoying the insights of this book. Learning a lot.

Alex Trebek accompanied me every day for many years with Jeopardy! I always thought he was a very educated and likable host, loved by the majority. However, I knew nothing of who he really was. In this book, we discover Alex behind the scenes. He was always very curious and hungry for learning. it surprised me to learn that he was a jack of all trades and enjoyed fixing and building things. He was always very generous with people in need. He married late and built a family that made him very happy. One of the most interesting chapters in the book is the way the show is made. I never imagined so much work was required. I really enjoyed the book. I will miss you Alex.

I got this as a present for my uncle and he actually never reads books but he read this one. he said he loved it he loves watching Jeopardy all the time every day. He makes me think of “the rain man” whenever he tells me not to bother him at 7pm because Jeopardy is on. Lol

Lisa Rogak did a great job writing about the life and career of late Jeopardy! host Alex Trebek. Mr. Trebek had a long successful career once he landing the hosting spot on Jeopardy! back in 1984 after a shaky first decade on american television.

i have always loved Alex Trebek since his early beginnings in Canada in my youth. it turns out he was just as lovely a man in real” life as we perceived him to be on tv. we got the news of his passing about two weeks ago and I burst into tears, feeling real grief and sorrow for a tv personality whom I felt I knew . Excellent read.

After hunting unsuccessfully regionwide for the mentioned book I was happy to purchase the book for amazon and receiving it in record breaking time. Thank you very much for the speedy and faithful service.

Great book! I would highly recommend it.

Fantastic read. Such an interesting book from start to finish. Alex Trebek certainly had an interesting life.

Excellent read .. thought I knew all about Alex ..but has proved me wrong
