- Dime store novel

It was fun to listen to in that it was so corny and poorly written. Lots of silly dialog. Despite that I did listen to the end. It was not a bad story it was just a thin plot and childish dialog. It was read well and is a good listen for a rainy day with nothing else to do, or listen to.
