Skiena has a very different style of introducing algorithmic problems. Generally all comprehensive books tend to follow a pattern. Never have i seen a book in which while just being a university student i tried solving a problem described in first chapter, kept reading through seeing my attempts fail and finally learn it was the famous TravellingSalesman NP-hard problem. Always loved that approach.
