I want to live in Konigsburg.  Wait, in some ways I do, which is probably why I love these books so much.  I know these people!  I know Lars, I know Jess, I know Cal, Janie, Docia, Pete et al.  There is a dive like the Dew Drop on my way home.  There is a place like Brenner's that we all love to go to on Saturday night.  We have tourists, local wineries, silly festivals, weddings that are bigger than some small countries and the general chaos that makes a small town a joy to inhabit.We even have some of the drama, though I prefer reading about it in books than actually experiencing it in my own life.  Which is why I go to Konigsburg when I want villains I love to hate (again, props for a female Cruella D'ville or Mommy Dearest that you want to smack).  Again, there is a nice comeuppence scene that give the reader a nice feeling of satisfaction.The romance between Lars and Jess is adorable-  sweet and hot in spite of 2 children under 3 running around in the story.  Yep, there is even a dog.What more could you want?Five stars- Highly recommended. Saved and yes, already re-read.
