This was a short little diddy from Amazon and it was amusing enough to justify the quick read. ( )

It took me 10 minutes to read so I wouldn't even classify this as a short story let alone a book. It was mildly funny but nothing special. ( )

I regularly read Andy Borowitz's political columns and Facebook posts. They're funny and quite smart. This short book has no politics in its story, in fact it's a personal story about Andy's health. I finished it in under an hour one night. It's funny, but also a chilling reminder that we need to remember to take care of ourselves. Worth a read if you like his writing style and don't mind some medical details. ( )

Borowitz is spectacularly funny - a one-man Onion. Here he goes a little off the beaten path to treat something truly frightening with a healthy dose of humor (survival books say this is actually key). It's a zippy read, and well worth the pittance despite the shorter-than-a-novella length. ( )

This was a humorous account of the author's misadventures with a colonic obstruction, which was misdiagnosed by the physicians caring for him. It was modestly entertaining and informative, but it wasn't a memorable read. ( )
