"If first novels can be like pop songs &amp;mdash; they psych you up because they&amp;apos;re all sexy and new, then they end up feeling kind of formulaic &amp;mdash; then Emma Rathbone&amp;apos;s &amp;ldquo;The Patterns of Paper Monsters&amp;rdquo; is more of a fugue, weaving incisive language and wit, rawness and sophistication. The journey through the mind of a 17-year-old detention center resident named Jacob Higgins is harrowing, funny and so true-to-life that it almost hurts to go through with it."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
