Percy Jackson & The Olympians Books Question

Is this a good book series for someone who likes mythology?

Mythology has been a favorite subject of mine for years, particularly Greek and Norse.
I'm wondering if this series is accurate or is it childish? Would they be good to a 17 year old who's been reading mythology for most of his life?

It depends wether or not you want it to be "accurate".There are so many versions of these myths,but this take on them has spun them in a manner that suits the author.But,in the end,I believe it is a read for people who really just like something to keep them entertained.They are not --in my opinion-- very well written (e.g. flowing writing,with descriptive passages that use beautifully composed metaphors and similes)but they some how keep me hooked--I will not put it down!
Anyway,I hope you got an answer to your question,or at least, decent one!

I agree with everything merlin_magic_22 said. I guess it's more of a kids thing but I'm 17 and still reading it.
