About this ebook
Andrew Morton uncovers the true story of the biggest celebrity of our age.
Everyone knows Tom Cruise—or at least what he wants us to know. We know that the man behind the smile overcame a tough childhood to star in astonishing array of blockbusters: Top Gun, Rain Man, Born on the Fourth of July, A Few Good Men, Jerry Maguire, several Mission: Impossible movies, and more. We know he has taken artistic chances, too, earning him three Academy Award and Golden Globe nominations. But beyond that, the picture becomes a bit less clear...
We know that Tom is a devoted follower of the Church of Scientology. 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 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 did not know about the charming, hardworking star. For all the headlines and the rumors, the real Tom Cruise has remained surprisingly hidden—until now.

Tom Cruise is a closeted homosexual and therefore a disgrace to the gay world Scientology is a cult to cover up whatever it's members don't want known it uses foul play to succeed in this therefore it's EVIL and a criminal cult that should be prosecuted but it's members are 2 powerful so nothing is done about it IT'S A NATIONAL DISGRACE!

This book was gripping and riveting. Any fan of this biography should read Leah Remi's book Toublemaker which provides a first hand account of the horrors of living inside Scientology and the great Cuise. This is a nice companion and provides insights into the cult and the man though it may be missing a few pieces because it is unauthorized.
