CHAPTER ONE
EXPLORATIONS ON STYLE, STYLISTICS AND THE LANGUAGE OF LITERATURE BY L. C. OGENYI, PH.D. AND PROF. B. J. OTAGBURAGU (Ph.D.)
Exposition
                This chapter captures stylistics and language-literary analysis. Language is defined as the medium of literature. The distinction between language and literature as portrayed in this chapter is that language is a set of words, phrases and clauses, while literature is the manipulation and use of the rules of the language to make meaning.
Evaluation
The chapter explains that some authors that both teachers and students complain that the book are too difficult. Hence, both need to follow a guideline to better results. This is a necessary write-up for every scholar.
CHAPTER TWO: LINGUISTIC DEVICES IN STYLISTICS BY F. U. NNAMANI

Exposition
In this chapter, the writer describes Stylistics as having Janus-like nature which is also multi-dimensional. This can be seen in linguistics. Style as a manner of presenting ideas is used by creative artists in expressing their thoughts and ideas.
Evaluation
This chapter notes that the writer explains his view points with simple sentences. The style is principally what is examined and this makes stylistics focus on the surface level. . . . . .  . . . . .
