Octavian Nothing is raised by a group of rational philosophers known only by numbers. He and his mother are the only people in their household assigned names. Young Octavian begins to question the purpose behind his guardians' fanatical studies, only after he dares to open a forbidden door does he learn the hideous nature of their experiments.

Horrifying submitted by kimberlina on August 11, 2012, 9:06am This audiobook is not for the faint of heart. Sections of the story are very graphic and disturbing. Yet at the end, I was glad I had finished it and plan to listen to the sequel.
brilliant narration by Peter Francis James submitted by nemiller on July 30, 2021, 10:09pm The narrator, Peter Francis James, takes an already amazing book and makes it even better, bringing it completely to life.
