Summary: bravo! <clap> <clap> <clap> <clap>
Review: In a world where the comic pages have become increasing trite and bland, Mr. Tatulli's Heart of the City is both a surprise and a delight. The characters (Heart, her Mom, her friends) are complex and funny, but most of all believable. No other comic characters are more alive than Heart of the City's, and this first book refects that. Not since early Watterson (Calvin & Hobbes) and early Amend (Foxtrox) have I been this pleased with a comic book. This one is a winner. Don't miss it.

Summary: Watch out world - here comes "Heart"!
Review: Mark Tatulli enticed me from the beginning a year ago with this insightful character and I've been hooked ever since. The comic stays fresh, warm, witty and a delight in my day. Mr. Tatulli is gifted with an incredible imagination that brings the characters to life for me in a way no other writer has since the early work of Lynn Johnston. This first book is a treasure trove of fun family reading. Kudos to Mark Tatulli for a wonderful book - I look forward with anticipation to many more.

Summary: What a Great Kid! What a Great Book!
Review: My newspaper doesn't carry Heart. I ran into her by accident on Amazon.com, and Boy! am I glad I did. Heart is a little girl living in Philadelphia with her single mom. She is sloppy like Calvin, and she has a fierce imagination, too. But she lives in the real world with her real friend Kat from the next apartment and her real "roly-poly lady" babysitter and her real dance class and her real homework. She's basically a good kid, although inclined to be messy. She'd rather play dress-up than study. She likes the theater, and has been known to practice her tap dancing on the coffee table. Heart isn't as gritty as Stone Soup and while it has its sentimental moments, it isn't as touchingly honest as For Better or For Worse, but it is really good fun. I kind of wish I lived next door to this family, especially when they pull out the junk food and tissues for a chick-flick video fest. This is a family with a lot of love and good humour, and you will have a good time visiting with them.

Summary: Witty, Wacky and Wonderful

Summary: Very good book with respect to a relatively new comic strip
Review: The first time that I flipped through this book, it affirmed what
I already like about this comic strip, which is one of my favouritie comic strips out there. Heart Lamarr's daily antics always have a way of making me laugh. In fact, "Heart of the City" is usually the first comic strip that I read when I get "The Toronto Star" every day during the work week. In closing, keep up the good work Mr. Mark Tatulli; and I hope to see another "Heart of the City" comic strip book sometime in the near future.

Summary: GIRL POWER AND SHOW BIZ!!!
Review: What a CHARMING little comic strip!!! But it's so sad it isn't printed anywhere except in this nifty little book that I suddenly came upon at my college bookstore. Drawn in this adorable, whimsical cartoony style rather like Calvin and Hobbes (ooh...how I HATE imitations, but this seems to work here), it's all about a very spunky little girl who likes to dress up, play make-believe, dance in a glittery pink tutu and ragged stockings, bawl at sad movies on the tube, and tease her divorced mom about getting another man! Very girlish, yet it's got plenty of wit and a very insightful view about what it's like to be a single young mother living by herself with an very imaginative child and her hyperactive buddies in the very middle of a city as well as those terrific movie take-offs (especially of Star Wars) featuring our plucky young heroine in her famous demin bonnet and ballerina slippers!

Summary: Tatulli Rules!
Review: You know how you stumble on a comic strip and then, it just worms its way into your life? That's Heart of the City. Tatulli comes at everyday life with a velvet hammer. And at a time when many strips are drawn in styles that hurt rather than help the content, Heart has a cartooning style that meshes perfectly with its temperment. And as for Tatulli's content: He gets it. He really gets it. This guy just has to have kids because the honesty and cleverness of life pours from his strip. Forget just buying one for yourself, this is a neat gift for someone you want to make smile.
