After reviewing the text, Dr. James E. Kibler, author of Our Father's Fields: A Southern Story and professor of Southern Literature at the University of Georgia, makes this remark: "Watson’s modest volume faces hard facts and gives proper warnings. His is a prophetic book that takes its authority from a broad vision of wholeness, and the elegant simplicity of good common sense. It is one of those books that has the potential to do immense good." Watson contends the only legitimate institution which can educate anyone is the home. This book gives the home educator the reasons for the superiority of home education, as well as the goals, foundation, and proper curriculum to be developed.

The story relates how King Gilgamesh develops his humanity from a tyrant to a man capable of compassion and genuine love.

Both Gilgamesh and Enkidu complement each other, providing the missing part of their humanness to the other. The two men share many adventures until Enkidu is mortally wounded.
