Default Poker books comparison?

I was interested to know everyones feelings about The Sklansky and Malmuth books in comparison to Phil Hellmuths book, "Play Poker like the Pro's." I got my start by reading the Sklansky and Malmuth books and have had good results following their strategies. I found Hellmuths book intriguing though. He recommends three betting small pairs and coming out betting on the flop often. His approach seems to be more aggresive than the Sklansky/Malmuth approach. I am feeling maybe a mixture of both Hellmuth and Sklanksy is correct and possibly it depends on the game. What I like about Hellmuths approach is it adds the element of unpredictability. How can someone put you on trip 4's when u flop trips after reraising with a pair of fours. My concern though is how often will this work and I think it depends on the game. Appreciate anyones thoughts about both styles of playing
