Book Overview

"Warm and funny." --The New York Times * "Refreshingly no-holds-barred." --USA TODAY * "Delightful." --San Francisco Chronicle

An inspirational, witty, and bold memoir from the most successful woman ever to compete on Jeopardy --an exploration of what it means to ask questions of the world and of yourself as well as a passionate "ode to learning" (People).

In eighth grade, Amy was voted "Most likely to appear on Jeopardy " by her classmates. Decades later, this trailblazer finally got her chance. Not only did she walk away with $1.3 million while captivating the world with her impressive forty-game winning streak, but she made history and won an even greater prize--the joy of being herself on national television and blazing a trail for openly queer and transgender people around the world. Now, she shares her singular journey that led to becoming an unlikely icon and hero to millions. Her superpower: Boundless curiosity and fearless questioning.

"A funny, memorable, philosophical take on life" (Kirkus Reviews) In the Form of a Question explores some of the innumerable topics that have fascinated Amy throughout her life--books and music, Tarot and astrology, popular culture and computers, sex and relationships--but they all share the same purpose: to illustrate, and celebrate, the results of a lifetime spent asking, why? "Funny, candid, and confident...this is no ordinary Jeopardy memoir... and] Amy Schneider is no ordinary Jeopardy champion" (Ken Jennings).
