It seems odd that the key feature of Naive Bayes (conditional independence of individual features given the class) is only mentioned in passing (and never explicitly that they are conditionally independent). This feature is then used when transforming probabilities to log-probabilities in one go without any mention which would make it particularly confusing for beginners. I would recommend decomposing p(x|C) before applying the log transform for clarity.
