Jeopardy!...What Is Quiz Book 4?

Summary: Are you about to audition as a Jeopardy ! contestant?
Review: Are you thinking about buying this book because you are about to take the test to become a contestant on Jeopardy? If so, DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY! I just took the test, and I can tell you that the test has NOTHING to do with the kind of questions this book contains. All of the questions you'll be expected to know are taken from Final Jeopardy on those evenings when none of the three contestants have a clue as to what the correct answer is. If you are auditioning for the show, it's probably because you can routinetly answer 85-90% of the Jeopardy and Double Jeopardy questions, and you can answer them faster than Alex can read the question. Well, that's great, but the test does not contain any of those questions. The test is nothing but the very toughest Final Jeopardy questions on the most arcane and esoteric questions. This book contains none of those kind of questions, only the easy trivia that you already know anyway. If you want to pump up you ego with a bathroom book that makes you feel smart, then by all means buy this book. But if you want to prepare for the Jeopardy audition by studying the kind of obscure minutuate that might show up on the test, then you are better off buying an opera CD.

Summary: Not worthwhile for preparing for Jeopardy Audition
Review: I agree with David Martin who said that this book was not useful for a Jeopardy audition. I auditioned at the same time as Mr. Martin and I found more useful a book called Cultural Literacy Guide, even with its minor factual errors (the reviews of that book will point out the errors) In addition I would recommend watching Entertainment tonight or reading USA today for a while to catch up on your popculture info.
