A house on the forested bank of a Brandenburg lake outside Berlin (once belonging to Erpenbeck s grandparents) is the focus of this compact, beautiful novel. Encompassing over one hundred years of German history, from the nineteenth century to the Weimar Republic, from World War II to the Socialist German Democratic Republic, and finally reunification and its aftermath, Visitation offers the life stories of twelve individuals who seek to make their home in this one magical little house. The novel breaks into the everyday life of the house and shimmers through it, while relating the passions and fates of its inhabitants. Elegant and poetic, Visitation forms a literary mosaic of the last century, tearing open wounds and offering moments of reconciliation, with its drama and its exquisite evocation of a landscape no political upheaval can truly change."Binding Type: Paperback

Amusing cartoons
Format: Paperback
So two cats create a mechanical dog suit to fight crime and, in the end, save the planet. Mostly fun times, although there are some stretches of credulity in the overall story. Generally fun, however.

Two earth cats Vs. Three aliens!
Format: Kindle
Crazy! I didn't expect that the super hero dog was actually two cats! It was a fun surprise to find that out and learn their history! I would recommend this book for readers who like aliens,cats,dogs,mystery...(squirrels,explosions,and even blobs.)

Great for reluctant readers
Format: Paperback
My 5th grade reluctant reader said it was very funny, and gave it 5 stars. It would be great for fans of Dogman, as that is his other favorite series.

8 yo’s favorite books!
Format: Paperback
My 8 yo son is reading his for the 6th or 7th time. The only my thing my son didn’t like about this book is that there isn’t a sequel.
He says “I wish I could put a billion stars”

Definitely a Must-Have
Scent: Sandalwood
This beard kit is legit. The sandalwood scent is clean and manly without being overpowering, which makes it great for everyday wear. The oils and balms actually soften coarse beard hair, reduce itch, and leave the beard looking healthier and more manageable. Packaging feels premium and the pump bottles are easy to use — no mess, no waste. I’ve tried a lot of beard kits over the years, and this one hits the sweet spot for quality, scent, and value. Highly recommend if you want a well-groomed beard that doesn’t smell like “baby powder mixed with perfume.”
If you have facial hair, you’ll notice a difference after the first use. Worth every penny.
