The desolate, treacherous Devon moors. A bloodcurdling legend of a ghastly hound from hell, haunting the Baskerville family for generations.

the back and forth between the narrators every chapter makes it difficult to stay connected in the story. One female narrator is more breathy and demure during her readings, while another is more robust.

the book was very interesting.

Some of the readers were very hard to understand. The lady that was breathing and whispering alot was just terrible.

I don't get it


Why would Librivox select this book to be read by multiple volunteers when two solo-read versions and a group dramatic reading already exist? Incidentally, the Bob Neufeld solo version outstanding, and it is available here: http://archive.org/details/hound_baskervilles_bn_librivox
