I liked the story of his upbringing,his trials and tribulations,his life in general. I found the book to be enlightening and warm hearted. I have always been a big fan of his and have enjoyed his talent as an actor. I like his honesty throughtout the book,he does not sugar coat anything,he tells it the way it happened. It was a good read.

Just OK
This book was interesting - at first. I enjoyed reading about where Sidney Poitier came from and how he grew up and began his career. Then the book got a little boring to me. It was like reading a lecture and I lost interest. I skipped over the last quarter of the book. I recommend it but would not give it a 5 star rating. I think the book was hyped up more than it deserved. To me it was a 3 star.

more than a pretty face
How this dignified, intelligent, talented, handsome man helped create himself surprised me in some ways. Not the part about how his parents and childhood independence grew a healthy, honest sense of self worth. More, how that foundation allowed him to acknowledge his shortcomings and use them as stepping stones upward. What makes him tick is the best part of his story for me because it's a worthy yardstick for anyone to use as a self-measure.
