I wouldn't recommend it unless you have a lot of time to study and partner who could help guide you. You will need to have your instrument skills down before you start and learn how to function as a captain in a crew environment-calling for the right checklists during emergencies, single-engine approaches and go-arounds, flying profiles etc. Systems knowledge and just learning the airplane itself also takes some time.
I did my atp/type in a 767 earlier this year and it was a lot of work, but I already had almost 3000 hours jet time in different airplanes. Its not impossible, just realize what you will be getting into.
