Blimp Vision MJS Early on in Hit Charade one of Aviation Entrepreneur/Boy Band Impresario/Con Man/All Around Large Guy Lou Pearlman's business partners declares "He had the same sort of blimp vision that I had!" For a split second after reading that line I wondered if Blimp Vision required special glasses like a 3-D movie. Then I realized what a perfect metaphor blimps are for any of Pearlman's business ventures: large, full of hot air and liable to explode.At the three-way intersection of True Crime, Business Expose and Celebrity Tell-all, Hit Charade is a winner. Tyler Gray tells the unlikely story of a boy from Broo.

The book contains a number of errors, both factual and cultural. It also hints at Pearlman's sexuality in a gossipy way without having any solid evidence. It's only worth reading if you want minute detail

His focus is Lou Pearlman, the manager of the Backstreet Boys and INSYNC who, Gray explains, used their earnings to finance his exorbitant lifestyle including a multimillion-dollar mansion, a fleet of private planes and expensive cars, and, inevitably, "a shady world of endless investments." Gray's look at the bands' music is serviceable. (Nov.)Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. . All rights reserved. However, Gray has a keen eye for business, and he writes fluently in detailing how Pearlman with "an assembly of hucksters as his new business partners," massively scammed not only his boy bands (he collected "50
