surmount the Essay world by Andrew Nyongesa is an awesome book for both teachers and students of English. It clearly outlines the difference between a good composition and a bad one through written examples that has a good plot.Having discovered the various challenges that befall both teachers and students, the author goes ahead to explain in simpler terms the different types of essays and provides guidelines on how each essay should be approached.It is a book that once you read it it leaves one better equipped with writing skills. i love it so much because it has improved my writing competence.
I absolutely agree with Mr. Morwani's review of this book. Mr Macharia, a publisher, informed me of his cousin in Murang'a who has gradually improved in both narrative and expository essay writing since he acquired a copy of the book. He will soon testify of it personally. No other book has the power to transform a candidate in to an essayist like SURMOUNT THE ESSAY WORLD. The examples given categorize narrative essays from A- D with typical features of each. A candidate is then at liberty to choose which essay to write.The A candidate, for instance, writes emotively while depicting the culture, tastes and moral. The essay has a very definite spark and errors are rare. H/she writes pleasantly with many margin ticks, many item sof merit at sentence level as a sign of good command of the language. It is the most suitabe book for candidates preparing for examinations.
