Review: Fast paced, well written and made me laugh out loud even though it was about a rather serious and unfunny medical condition

A Kindle Single is a short inexpensive work that is about the length of a medium sized newspaper article.  And what it lacks in length is made up for in unique and interesting content.  Well, this piece by comedian Andy Borowitz sure fits this description.  It is fast paced, well written and made me laugh out loud at times.  The strange thing about this best-selling memoir, however, is that it chronicles a rather disgusting medical condition involving his colon.  There were several surgeries, lots of complications and the young newlywed author nearly died.  But somehow, he survived to tell his tale.  Somehow, also, he makes it seem funny.  I winced in disgust and also laughed out loud at his descriptions of the scatological experience of it all.  However, at last it turned out all right with this rather awful experience bringing him a small amount of fame and a boost for his career.
