Sharonm745 Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 I still think that Gideon was honest with Corinne from the beginning of his little" play" that he was performing for the police. I also think that Corinne knows that Gideon isn't that into her anymore.  I have a feeling that after he (Gideon) puts his hand on her back as he leads her to the car once they are in the car Corinne & Gideon are sitting as far from each other as possible. The more I think about it, if Corinne thought that she was reeling Gideon in, why would she have staged that "just f#*k" meeting for Eva at her apartment. You just don't do that.  If Corinne felt Gideon was even slightly interested in her romantically she would have opened the door and let Eva see how secure she is in her relationship with Gideon. That would hurt Eva more than the little head trip she tried to play.  I'm not saying that Corinne won't be hurt when she sees Gideon & Eva back together but she knows the truth deep down.         3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LN Cronan Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Penguin Australia goes from posting (and having to take down) a picture with rings in it (even though Sylvia did say in an interview Gideon's going to want to put a ring on it.) Now they're alternating creepy picture (hand), hot picture (oh that male torso), and now another unsettling picture. Â Honestly, I'm starting to feel like Eva during That Week. Roller-coaster and mixed messages. Â LOL, I jest, I jest .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

insideofclouds Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 All eyes on HC. Is Superman, Gideons alter ego?  I read how HC played the role of superman as a man who is looking for his place in society and fighting who he really is because he was hiding his abilities and his true self.  Gideon fought to make his own way, on his own in the sense that he knew he wanted to control his life and he knew who he wanted to become. But I do think he has superman qualities though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrock Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 One thing I keep thinking about when we're hashing over clueless Gideon bumbling around, hurting people left and right, is the sacrifice he made for Eva. Not only did he risk losing her love, because after all, killing a person is unthinkable for most people - even if you say I wish someone was dead, you know you couldn't really do it. Gideon would have considered there was a real possibility Eva would not have been able to get over what he had done - even if on some level she was grateful - he would have lost her. The other risk was the real possibility that something could have gone wrong, however perfectly he tried to plan it. Anyone as smart as Gideon would know that life (and literature) are full of stories of the best laid plans going terribly wrong. And, in fact, his whole scheme is dangerously close to unravelling. And my point is that Gideon must have accepted the possibility that there was some chance that, worst case scenario, he could face a prison sentence. Accepting those two possible outcomes - prison and/or loss of Eva was about the biggest sacrifice I can imagine anyone making. I think we should cut him some slack for screwing up with related issues, while trying to save himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

julie54 Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Just like HC, Gideon's kryptonite is not being able to keep Eva safe. Very true. He will always worry about her safety. To the point of being paranoid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So well said Nrock that is why it is such a riveting story and Gideon such an unforgettable character because the reader feels so many emotions about him running the gamut from extreme dislike to adoration of this beautiful, complex, flawed individual.
