Pedro and Me: Friendship, Loss, and What I Learned by Judd Winick
5.0
Wow...I was 11 or 12 when this season aired. I watched the entire thing and remember being shocked that Pedro had died. He was my first interaction with not only a person living with AIDS, but gay person. (I was sheltered...)He totally opened up my eyes and gave me an open mind about the LGBT community.
I didn't know that this book was around or I probably would have read it earlier and I'm very glad that I took this Graphic Novel course were we had to read it. I won't lie...I bawled after reading it. It is just that good. Winick really got to the heart of the reader and Pedro and let it all out. Not only is it about Pedro and his life, but his mission as well. Teaching people about AIDS & HIV, prevention and the myths.
I recommend this book to everyone. And then go out and find the 3rd season of the Real World.
