The Best of Rick Riordan’s Chapter Titles

If there is something I love as much as reading, it’s the author’s personal touch they put on a book. Whether it’s just through their voice or their jokes, I find it so neat. It is a time we can really see who the author is simply through their writing. For Rick Riordan, it’s his chapter names. I don’t know if you ever noticed, but the Percy Jackson series has the absolute best chapter titles.  I went through the 5 books and found a few of my favorite chapter titles from each book. Prepare to start laughing, because theseare pretty funny.

 

THE LIGHTNING THIEF

• I Accidently Vaporize My Pre-Algebra Teacher
• I Play Pinochle with a Horse
• I Become Supreme Lord of the Bathroom

Some of these are just so blunt and straightforward it kills me. I have to say the winning book has to be The Lightning Thief. I physically had to make myself stop writing the titles. I had a great time looking at all of these, and I hope you get a laugh out of some of them as well!
