An Unexpected Twist (Kindle Single) (2000) - Plot & Excerpts
I like reading the Borowitz Report on the New Yorker website. This essay is not the Borowitz Report. I knew that going in, but I was expecting something funny and a little satirical. All I got out of it were two things I already knew: 1. Health care blows. 2. Old guys like new wives. A couple good laughs, but little insight and less cutting-edge humor. I'll stick to reading Andy in short bursts online. Not stranger-than-fiction, and certainly more "rare" than "freakish," but Andy did have an unusual medical condition that, through some hurrying doctors, led to complications, poop bags and additional surgeries. I'm glad that, in the end, Andy's doctors did what they needed to do and he survived it, but I didn't find myself laughing - out loud or otherwise - to the pages of this extremely short Kindle Single. He throws a moral in there at the end, but I'm wondering why he didn't bring up the impact that a second opinion might have had on the outcome of his first surgery?
What do You think about An Unexpected Twist (Kindle Single) (2000)?
2.5, really. The story was fine, but it was so short it was more like a long blog post.
