Book Reviews of Tom Cruise: An Unauthorized Biography
Book Review: Tom Cruise
Summary: 5 Stars
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.Book Review: Really interesting
Summary: 5 Stars
This book was awesome. As a normal person, I didn't know much about Tom Cruise, just the general stuff. It helped me understand how Tom became what he is now, how he's been brainwashed and is now a perfect product of the Scientology church.
I really don't think that the author is trying to turn Tom down, he is just bringing some explanations on what happened in Tom's life. This book is really like a documentary, not really trying to give an opinion saying "Tom Cruise is bad" but more observing how things go around the actor.
I just hope now the Katie is going to succeed to go out of the church.
Book Review: scientology is terrifying
Summary: 5 Stars
I lived in LA where my friends explained what they knew about scientology and it's weird cult activities to me. The creepy scientology buildings were scattered all over LA. Everyone i knew laughed at the so-called religion. but it is clear that they have the upper hand in los angeles where so many celebs follow the ridiculousness of L Ron Hubbard. You can google lists of famous actor scientologists.. Tom isn't the only one. Even cool kids like Jason Lee and Giovanni Ribisi believe in "thetans" and go through the "purification rundown." They are everywhere in LA, disguised as cool boutique owners, young actors..etc. Yes this book goes into detail explaining the cult, but it does a great job at explaining the life of Tom Cruise, and I hope everyone knows how scary he is and to boycott his films. Hopefully Katie Holmes won't face losing her kids like Nicole Kidman did. Definitely read this book, everything the author says about the cult is true. They are totalitarian and want to take over the world. But as the south park writers stated after the scientology episode was banned, the cult has won this battle, but not the million year war!Book Review: Tom Cruise and the Church of Scientology
Summary: 4 Stars
Andrew Morton is an excellent biographer although if I were famous I would not be happy to hear he was about to write a biography, most especially an unauthorized one, about me.
However, as a consumer of Hollywood Hype and Glamour I could not resist this title as there is nothing like good gossip and "The Real Story" they do not want you to know.
I was surprised at first and a bit baffled when Mr. Morton went on a diatribe about the history of the Church of Scientology in the midst of the life of the title subject. However, though the facts where fascinating and presented in a factual, and believable presentation, it threw me a bit that Mr. Morton would spend so much time writing about the 'dirt' of this religious organization. However, it seemed to me as if he has something against the church and wrote about Mr. Cruise solely because of his very intense and perhaps unconventional involvement and control of this large Organization.
I am still awed, however that the details of Mr. Cruise's personal life and aptly shocked at his behavior. This was a side of MR. Cruise I would never have known and I commend Mr. Morton for having the courage to write about it. Surely, if his facts are true, Andrew Morton faces peril and potential ruin from this very influential group of individuals who would wish to act on the defense of his subject.
As a book, I enjoyed it immensely and as with any work of non-fiction, I will take the information with a grain of salt. However I will say that my impression of Tom Cruise in forever changed.
Book Review: Great Service
