I find it superior to CLRS although I have not read either completely.
In my undergrad CS course we used CLRS for Intro to Algorithms and Kleinberg Tardos was a recommended text for an advanced(but still mandatory, for CS) algorithms course, but I feel it does not have prerequisites much higher than CLRS does.
I feel that while KT ‘builds on’ knowledge and partitions algorithms by paradigm(and it develops each of these ‘paradigms’—i.e. Dynamic Programming, Greedy, Divide and Conquer— from the start) CLRS is more like a cookbook or a list of algorithms.
I would like to suggest Algorithm Design by Kleinberg and Tardos over CLRS.
