I don't know about everybody else, but I don't find the "list of language features" format that helpful. It's quite dry and it doesn't contextualize how people use these features or what patterns are common. The Guided Tour part at the beginning is the best part IMO. I wish that'd be the entire book. Just a long guided tour of OCaml through the lens of an in depth project, say an interpreter of an ML language.
