The Lightning Theif

  I am half way through The Lightning Theif by Rick Riordan. This book is about a twelve year old boy, Percy Jackson, and his, at the moment, baffling life. Percy is slowly discovering the truth about himself, his family, and all the odd expieriences he encountered in his past.
 
Here are the songs that are relavent to the events in the book:

 1st- Maybe by Kid Cudi- This song should be on the soundtrack because it talks about being different and not being accpted. This ties into the story because Percy switches from school to school becasue he positively is not like others, and is discriminated for it.

 2nd-Silvia by Miike Snow- This song fits the part of the book where Percy sees something horrible happen to his mother. This song has a sad tone to it and talks about loosing someone who was loved.

3rd- We are the People by Empire of the Sun- This song is appripriot because it talks about having strength, uniting with others, and having a certain force inside of you. This song's contents are very simialr to the story itself. Percy needs strength to deal with the startling truth, he units with other of his "kind", and finally the kids who are like him all are very special and important and they all know that.

4th-   Your the best around by Joe Esposito- This song fits the scene when Percy defeats the Minotaur in a fight. This is a very strong monster, and Percy is only twelve. Also, in the Karate Kid, Daniel, the main character, wins in a big fight, and this song is played! I thought these events were similar.

 I am almost finished with my forty books, and this books counts as two. Has anybody else read this book?
 Does anyone know a good traditonal book?
