As I was reading this, I didn't undertand why I was laughing at this man's very personal and serious life and death struggle with a twisted colon. But I was. I'd never heard of Andy Borowitz before, but he is one funny and gifted comic and writer. He writes this story with a natural ease, nothing about it seeming staged or forced, just truly funny.It takes someone with a gift for comedy to make you read an entire story with a smile on your face, even when you're reading the serious parts. That's a talent he has. This story is full of those laugh-out-loud moments, definitely, but it also has a touching and very substantial message about living and loving today while you can. This kindle single is well-written, just very smart and wry, as it delivers a learned life lesson with a great amount of humor.
