Synopsis
Criticism and controversy have surrounded the blockbuster actor's connection to the cultish Church of Scientology for years, but Tom Cruise receives one of his most thorough drubbings at the hands of Andrew Morton, a professional celebrity writer who has previously written biographies of Posh Spice and David Beckham, Madonna, and Princess Di. TOM CRUISE: AN UNAUTHORIZED BIOGRAPHY certainly discusses Cruise's charm and star power, but its main focus is how Cruise has latched on to the quirky and creepy Church of Scientology as a way to bolster his megalomaniacal ego. If Cruise comes across looking bad in the book, the Church of Scientology's current leader (and Cruise's best friend) David Miscavige appears as a golden-tongued devil--Miscavige has been accused of beating his followers and cruelly subjecting his Church rivals to a procedure known as "the walking cure" in which they must continually walk from the moment they wake until the moment they fall down from weariness.

Industry Reviews
"[In] Mr. Cruise, Mr. Morton sees a domineering, aggressive character who has joined forces with Scientology to catapult his activities beyond the realm of mere glitter."
