Shirley J. Adult Non-Fiction Memoir The life and times of famed game show host Alex Trebek
The Answer Is...:Reflections on My Life by Alex Trebek 304 pages
Being a fan of the game show, "Jeopardy," (is there anyone who isn't?) I am also a fan of Alex Trebek who did a phenomenal job as host. He is so iconic in fact he even did a cameo on the t.v. show, "Orange Is the New Black," which I loved and learned then Alex actually cusses! Omgosh, he is human! ; D Alex shares in his book the story of growing up in Canada and how his amazing voice landed him several acting gigs throughout his career. He talks about his family then and now, his marriages and all the good and bad he has endured over the years culminating in his being diagnosed with Stage IV pancreatic cancer which he shared with his many fans on the show. When he saw the overwhelming response from fans who sent cards, letters and prayers, sharing how much a part of their families he was over the 30+ years of Jeopardy alone, he decided to put his gratitude and love for his admirers into book form to share more of his life and struggle with people who cared so much about him. The book is a love letter to his fans and a formidable memory of a fine entertainer all the way to the end. I recommend this book to adults especially to Alex Trebek and Jeopardy fans, you will not be disappointed.
