Book Reviews of Tom Cruise: An Unauthorized Biography

Book Review: This is an important book
Summary: 5 Stars

This is an important book, not because it is about Tom Cruise, but because it gives a detailed and researched explanation of Scientology. Maybe the U.S. government should investigate the practices which causes people to sign a contract giving up their rights. The entertainment unions have a responsibility to educate their members about how Scientology targets people in the entertainment industry. According to the book, Scientology gets people to tell them their innermost secrets and then uses that information to blackmail or bribe people. The Scientologists who recruit get paid lifetime commissions. This is an amazing story. When I picked it up I didn't thing I would like it but I found it fascinating. I'm really glad I took time to listen to the book on CD. I'm very grateful to the author. It needed to be written. Now, who will make the movie?

????
Everyone knows Tom Cruise---or at least what he wants us to know. We know that he overcame a difficult childhood to star in astonishing array of blockbusters: Top Gun, Rain Man, Born on the Fourth of July, A Few Good Men, Interview with the Vampire, Jerry Maguire, three Mission: Impossible movies, War of the Worlds, and more. We know he has taken artistic chances, too, and as a result has earned three Academy Award nominations and three Golden Globes, along with the respect of acting legends like Paul Newman and Dustin Hoffman.
???? After that, the picture becomes a little less clear. We know that Tom is a Scientologist, but not necessarily what that means in his life. We know that, despite persistent rumors about his sexuality, he has been married to Mimi Rogers, Nicole Kidman, and Katie Holmes. But it was not until the spring of 2005, when he jumped on Oprah's couch to proclaim his love for Katie and denounced Brooke Shields for turning to the "Nazi science" of psychiatry, that we began to realize how much we didn't know about the charming, hardworking star.
???? For two years, award-winning biographer Andrew Morton has been tirelessly seeking out everyone from former teachers and girlfriends to Scientology insiders to friends who have watched a once-bullied, "nothing special" outsider transform himself into an icon Forbes has called the most powerful celebrity in the world? Here, with never-seen photos and never-heard revelations, is a riveting, sometimes shocking portrait of the real Tom Cruise---his work, his love life, his marriages, his religion---from a master at uncovering the true story behind the public face of celebrity.
