It's a pretty brief read, and priced at $0.99 cents, this Kindle Single feels like a steal.  AN UNEXPECTED TWIST is a poignant look at someone whose idea of a comfortable life is brought to a halt because of health problems.  It's filled with love, and the interactions/thoughts between the author and his wife are beautiful.  The ride is a scary one, but it's nice to have a guide as fun as Borowitz.After reading AN UNEXPECTED TWIST, I found myself frequently comparing it to the Will Reiser penned50/50.  Both stories are similar (but distinctive in their own right): both are humorous accounts of the author dying.  Sometimes we have to make ourselves laugh so that we don't cry -- that's what Andy Borowitz goes through here.  Simultaneously hilarious and horrifying, AN UNEXPECTED TWIST is able to bring its readers in to reflect upon their own lives along with the author.
