Search - The Measure of a Man

Sidney begins the book by stating that he wanted to write not really about HIS life but about LIFE.

He goes on to describe his life growing up and through adulthood. He delves into his theories on life, spirituality, what makes the measure of a man, his parents ...and has he lived up to being the man he wants to be.

I thought it was captivating and interesting!

Interesting especially on his early years. Not the most well written, but I did make it through. Wish we knew a little more about him and a little less than what he thought.

I have so much respect for Sidney Poitier. It was interesting learning more about him, and to gain from the wisdom he's acquired over the years. He has a lot of wisdom...

I was disappointed. Boring to read and not enough insight into the man himself. I LOVE Sidney Poitier movies and would have liked to have "gotten to know him" better.

IT WAS OKAY,I GUESS I EXPECTED ALITTLE MORE.

Love this book! What a fascinating life he has led.

Quite wonderful portrayal of Poitier's childhold and finding himself

Couldn't make it through this one... maybe you can!

The Measure of a Man by Sidney Poitier

An inspirational man. A true role model for anyone of any race.

Donna V.

"Spiritual autobiography" of actor Sidney Poitier, hits the high spots of his life and career but mostly philosophizes on the forces that formed and drive him.

Excellent book
