This book was used for my algorithms class last year. I never buy textbooks because I never really find them useful (especially CS books). This book, however, I thought did a great job of explaining how things work and was a pretty easy read. I even found myself reading ahead and reading content we didn't cover in class. If algorithms are interesting to you, I certainly wouldn't turn you away from it.
