I found the book boring at times with too much repetition and politics. There were a lot of other parts very interesting. If was found that Mary Mallon caused fewer cases and deaths from typhoid fever than other identified carriers. Mary was one among ten thousands of typhoid carriers in the twentieth century.Mary Mallon was also one among thousands who refused to cooperate with authorities to follow set restrictions. She was the only one stripped of her freedom for being a carrier of typhoid. Her name lives on as Typhoid Mary which must remind people that people who are infected whether it be Typhoid, HIV or TB are to be treated with respect and empathy.This the best book I have read about Mary Mallon.
