Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
The desolate, treacherous Devon moors. A bloodcurdling legend of a ghastly hound from hell, haunting the Baskerville family for generations. Such is the setting for the most horrific Sherlock Holmes story ever written, where the celebrated sleuth's brains are pitted against those of a most diabolically cunning and elusive villain. (Summary by LadyMaria) (5 hr 53 min)

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

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.
Volunteers choose what they want to read

It is the other way round -- Librivox does not "select" a book to be read. Volunteers choose for themselves which public domain book they want to do as a Librivox project, whether as a solo or by recruiting other readers for a group project. Librivox provides them the means of producing their recordings and a platform by which to find other volunteers to help.
