I read it for the first time when I was 17/18. I remember finding it thrilling. The second time around? Not so much. I found myself wanting to skip over large portions of the book. So, I'd recommend only if you have a burning fascination with either the author or Mary Mallon (Typhoid Mary). Also, I wouldn't read the first few chapters while eating, or planning to go to a restaurant. Typhoid transmission through dirty fingers... yum.
