Reviews
"In this funny, candid, and confident debut, Amy takes us along on her lifelong journey of discovery, about the world and about herself. This is no ordinary Jeopardy! memoir--but then again, Amy Schneider is no ordinary Jeopardy! champion." --Ken Jennings, "Schneider is a fascinating personality and well worth reading about with or without the game show cred. . . . She is also an engaging writer in this winning autobiography." -- Bay Area Reporter, "In this intimate, engaging memoir, Schneider delves into who she is beyond the TV cameras, describing her lifetime of intellectual pursuit, how she learned to embrace her whole self and more." -- The San Francisco Chronicle, "Schneider invites readers into some of the most intimate areas of her life as she pokes around them herself. . . . Each chapter title is phrased as a question, cheekily playing off the Jeopardy! format while also evoking the relentless interrogation trans people often face from their cisgender peers. It's candid and vulnerable, but the answers always unfold on Schneider's own terms--and they are frequently laugh-out-loud funny." -- them, "Schneider reveals the concerns of a normal life changed by sudden notoriety, and she does so with self-awareness and a hefty dose of humorous footnotes. . . . Schneider's memoir fully commits to her own voice with unapologetic honesty. She grants grace to herself and others for what they know and don't know, emphasizing how personal evolution is always possible if someone, above all else, keeps learning." -- Shelf Awareness (starred review), "Amy Schneider is one of the Jeopardy! greats, second only to Ken Jennings in games won . . . In her new memoir, she locks down a No. 1 spot, though, for best hang. . . . Her prose is warm and funny. . . . Images from a handwritten diary entry from the day her first wife left; her candor about self-loathing; the nervous ecstasy in her trans awakening--that's where the book feels the most special and alive. . . . Trans stories are often commodified for either misery or nobility in the face of misery, but In the Form of a Question is a much fuller, livelier, more textured and sardonic picture." --New York Times, "Written with wit and transparency, as well as the occasional passionate chapter on pop culture gems like the '90s MTV staple Daria , In the Form of a Question is both a multi-faceted portrait and an ode to learning." -- People, "With In the Form of a Question , Schneider shows us her sense of humor and peels back her pearls-wearing Jeopardy! persona to share her real-life experiences--including dabbling in drugs, awkward sex moments, and cringe-worthy wonder-years memories. No scar is left unpicked--and with wit." -- Boston Globe, "Let Amy Schneider explain absolutely everything to you. This brazen, fearless book shows how curiosity and a nose for weirdness can literally change your life--and true to form, instead of telling you the answers, it'll help you find better questions." --Charlie Jane Anders, author of All the Birds in the Sky

Synopsis
"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).
