"Imagine you're in a really good relationship, everything's really good and nice and you love each other, but they promise you that with someone else it would be the love of your life. If they swore to you that this was the case, how many of you would get up and leave?

In Dr. Seuss's book ‘Cat in the Hat’, the children are left alone at home. Being bored, they want to do something fun. But they mustn't, it is forbidden... Then who appears out of nowhere? The cat in the hat! He fulfils everything they asked for despite the fact that the fish in the jar warns the children that their mother will be very angry!

Throughout our entire lives we want and ask from the universe or from God all sorts of things. To fulfil dreams, to realize fantasies. But most of the time we are too afraid or rely on the fears of others. "But how?", "But it’s impossible", "But how many succeed??"

I was a lawyer. I Hated myself. Hated my life. I started writing totally 'by chance', as they say. A former screenwriter that studied with me in my first law degree thought that I was talented and that I should give it a try.

I wrote about thirty pages and forgot all about it. Two years later, again 'by chance' of course, I met this girl I knew years before and that was now some kind of psychic. After two minutes of small-talk she suddenly asked out of the blue - "maybe you wrote something?".

At first I said no, because I didn't even remember it, but then I told her that in fact I did. "That's your purpose in life," she immediately replied, "you'll be a great Author."

That conversation totally 'flipped me over' because there wasn't the slightest chance she could have known about it.

As time went by I completed my first novel, 'The Knight is a Son of a Bitch'. No publisher wanted it, but I wasn’t going to give up. And despite the fact that I was already quite respectful divorce-mediation lawyer and even taught divorce-mediation in Bar-Ilan university, I took a chair and a folding table, and sat in the middle of the main street of Tel-Aviv selling my book to passers-by, when all my surrounding thought I got fucked up in the head…

It took as much as three years, but eventually people started asking for my book at the bookstores. Within two more years my first novel became a best-seller, and just recently I have published my fifth book.

So don't ever let anyone tell you something is not possible, and I really hope you'll enjoy my writings.

With lots of love,

Aviv."

'The Knight is a Son of a Bitch':

“Mistakenly, I thought that this was a book that easily entered the genre of flight books, but when I read – or rather, got sucked into it – I slowly realized that it was not the case – but the exact opposite.

'The Knight is a Son of a Bitch' contains philosophical and existential elements that ask the reader questions about his condition, surroundings, emotions and feelings. It is a book that raised questions within me about solipsism and touched me at extraordinary depths. I do not know if Geva, the author of this important work, is aware of his unique talent, as an author, or in this case to be precise, as a “story teller” – and to the many tiers that his writing containss." Author Doron Braunshtein ?????

“From the first moment, the blunt language is a wonderful mask and a literary tool that serves the plot perfectly. I would not be ashamed to say genius." Author Osnat Saban ?????

“A different, other, cynical, insolent, daring, shaking the head and kicking the face book.

The writing is psychotic borderline brilliance.“ Sara Rachmiel Book Reviews ?????

“Aviv gives us a real understanding of how a man’s brain works. I recommend it for all women, just to understand a bit about them and smile a lot more to ourselves." Blogger Odelia Tzadok ?????

'The Middle Kingdom':

“Aviv Geva has freed himself of the fetters of literary writing.

Abandoning the familiar templates and shapes of full sentences, Geva links together words that don’t necessarily connect, yet in their higher spheres they complement each other. For every word has its primary meaning, but also possesses the sensations it evokes. Phrase after phrase, the reader is exposed to the other level of words, to writing at an emotional level.

One of the great literary creations I have ever known.” Pashi Levin, Screenwriter ?????

"A wild work like no other. your grand children will study it at literature classes" Assaf Shany, Screenwriter

'Marvelee':

“… The book is so enchanting, wise and entertaining, that it easily deserves the title of “The sweetest children’s book published in 2018” Chai-tarbut Book Reviews ?????

"Wow, what an exciting book and stunning in its beauty, a book that is entirely dedicated to the new father or to the future father to his daughter... It is structured in short paragraphs, punctuated and rhymed, the colorful and spectacularly beautiful illustrations cause you to be drawn in, fall in love and be moved by the entire charming story... I wholeheartedly recommend About this wonderful book, a book that I enjoyed so much reading to my little granddaughters, who did not want to part with it and asked to continue reading it more and more... At the end of the book, our little children are given the opportunity to color in the two attached coloring pages, an experience in itself that will add value to reading and looking through the entire book .. just lovely!"

'Draggy The Dragon':

"A children's book with mature intentions. I love the little dragon who experienced a change, a change that is not easy, to stop burning and be kind = different and special. With a loving friend who supports him in the essential change. I recommend the book to all the little "dragons" who discover a difficult change, but it is also possible and rewarding. For them and their parents who support them in the blessed change." Review by Ahuva Oberstein at "Nurita" book reviews website

"You will have to read this lovely book! The book enables a conversation with children about social pressure, about the possibility of change and that change, even if it is difficult, is blessed. The story and the lovely drawings that match the text captured the hearts of my grandchildren who did not leave the book all weekend! At the end of the book there are two coloring pages that definitely add interest. I Highly recommend!" Review by Pnina Aharonov at "Nurita" book reviews website
