The first major newspaper review of the book came out this weekend (actually a joint review with Ken Jennings's Brainiac).  It's behind a subscription wall, but here's the punchline:

... a rollicking ride of intellectual discovery and emotional growth.  He provokes much laughter -- unlike his buzzer skills, his comic timing never fails him -- and a few unexpected tears.

Much more than a handbook for "Jeopardy!" wannabes or an exciting play-by-play, the book is a prose poem to the late-blooming joy Mr. Harris finds in exploring "a location unfixed in physical space and time" that he calls Trebekistan and in meeting many fellow travelers along the way...

It's a pleasure to tag along on his journey.

Yippee!

Onward!

PS -- the Entertainment Weekly review mentioned earlier is now online, if you're curious.
