Tom Cruise: An Unauthorized BiographyJuly 29, 2008 3 out of 4 found this review helpful
A Must Read. A very carefully researched book. I'm sure his critics will pounce on some startling gossip, but if you read between the lines I think he left out more shocking information than he put in. And he put in plenty.

It wasn't until after I read this book I realized who Andrew Morton was. He caught my attention over the Princess Diana book that was "secretly authorized" by Diana. If I had known this was the guy, I would have passed on the book. The guy gave me the creeps over the Diana thing and his latest book about Tom Cruise has that National Enquirer feel to it. Ack!
If all biographies, authorized or not, were written by Andrew Morton, I'd probably never read another one again.

This is quite an interesting book. I had some idea of Scientology before reading but was shocked at how much I didn't know. I personally wouldn't support any actors I find are involved with such a corrupt organization.

Is Tom Cruise is totally delusional? In one part he apparently says something like if he knew what he did now he could have went through college at age 11. He also says that no one tells you about dictionaries, like they are some mystery or something! I laughed so hard at both of these statements. I would love to see him go to college and get a degree...would love to put him in a chemistry class. And the dictionary thing, uh, in college many times you have a dictionary right next to you when you read...this is common. Wow...join the rest of the world Tom.

I think this book explains a lot about Tom Cruise. It goes a lot into the scientology movement. It's quite interesting how they recruit members. Tom's usual talk show personality persona is quite different then his private image. We saw some of that when he insulted Brooke Shields on television. You really need to read it to understand how a man like Tom Cruise could be recruited into this organization. Andrew Morton who wrote the blockbuster books on Princess Diana and Monica Lewinsky also wrote this interesting book.
