Scientology, created in 1954 by a prolific sci-fi writer named L. Ron Hubbard, claims to be the world's fastest-growing religion, with millions of members around the world and huge financial holdings. Its celebrity believers keep its profile high, and its teams of "volunteer ministers" offer aid at disaster sites such as Haiti and the World Trade Center. But Scientology is also a notably closed faith, harassing journalists and others through litigation and intimidation, even infiltrating the highest levels of government to further its goals.

This journey leads to the highest management echelon and one woman's courage to break free. A real page-turner." Mark P.

Publisher's Summary
He has also become one of the most controversial, for his outspoken championship of Scientology, for his criticism of Brooke Shields for turning to the "Nazi science" of psychiatry for help with postpartum depression, and for the time in 2005 when he jumped on Oprah Winfrey's couch proclaiming his love for Katie Holmes. But for all the headlines and the rumors swirling around him, the real Tom Cruise has remained surprisingly hidden: until now.
For two years, acclaimed investigative journalist Andrew Morton has been uncovering the true story of Tom Cruise: from his days as bullied "little Tommy Mapother", to his early stardom, to his romances, and his increasingly public involvement in the world of Scientology. With new sources and exclusive interviews, Morton brings us never-heard revelations about the private, sometimes shocking world of Tom Cruise.

An In-depth Analysis of Tom Cruise & Scientology!
Although I have idolized Tom Cruise for decades, and have even published numerous commentaries defending his antics over the years, I recommend that people take a look at this excellent biography.
Presuming that Andrew Morton, his publisher, and attorneys did their homework, I learned many disturbing things about Cruise and Scientology for the first time. I also enjoyed many of the tidbits that Morton provides from at least one Cruise family member, teachers, girlfriends, and others.
Although the book is very tough on both Cruise and Scientology, it is a must for any die-hard Cruise fan or anyone interested in getting the inside scoop about Scientology.

Interesting
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I would recommend this book to anybody who is interested in Cruise's involvement in Scientology. This is the reason I purchased it.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Scientology
What about John Hinch’s performance did you like?
It was good
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
I continued to be appalled at the abuses and teaching of Scientology. and the bizarre behavior of Cruise.
Any additional comments?
If you have read "Going Clear" and want to find out more of why Cruise thinks the way he does, and behaves in such an arrogant manner, this is a good read.

Disapointing
I am a fan of Andrew Morton's and was looking forward to this book. The whole thing seems strangely uninteresting, and it never made me feel as though I learned anything about Tom Cruise. I thought the writing was disjointed. It doesn't even mention that Tom and Nicole were divorcing, and then all of the sudden mentions that they were divorced? Not worth the time.

Are you sure the prononciation is correct?..
That’s not how you say “Miscavige”! Normally I feel like it’s fair to be all “tomatO, tomAto”, but I have heard enough people pronounce it to know this is waaaay off. The main thing is that it sounds humorous, and almost mocking. Otherwise, a pretty concise bio.

Pronunciation is key
If you are going to narrate a book or produce an audio book, learn how to pronounce the names you are speaking. David Miscavige's name is butchered through the entire book. When you butcher the name of someone so central to the story, it diminishes the credibility of the book. I am not a Scientologist but found the obvious error really distracting.

I enjoyed this, it was interesting. I was looking for more about Tom and Scientology since I went on a Scientology kick but the rest was very entertaining. Obviously Tom Cruise has charisma and this book focuses on that a lot. Toward the end you really get a sense of who he is: An amazing actor... but kind of a weird duck.
