More background in "Functional Style" part?

• Chapters 9-12 flow really well - and nothing really jumped out at me. The only thing that niggled as I reflected on it was that it felt like you spent less time building ideas here, more more time making assumptions about the readers knowledge and jumping into the code. This seems to depart from the stye of the beginning of the book. Perhaps you'd consider dividing these three chapters into 10 page chunks - and just adding a page of prose explaining the big idea you're driving at.
