Review: Dead Weight by Hildur Knútsdóttir

★★★★☆ Review: First, I would like to thank Macmillan Audio for providing me with a free advanced listener copy of this audiobook. This is my honest review. Feminine rage and retribution Having read and enjoyed The Night Guest , I was eager to get a copy of Hildur Knútsdóttir's latest English translation! Unnur lives alone until the Cat Distribution System deposits a black cat in her home. Despite finding the cat's owner, the cat keeps returning, and now Unnur must begrudgingly accept that Ásta and her cat will be a regular installment in her home. Getting to know Ásta on a deeper level, she quickly realizes that her new friend is in a dangerous situation and that if she doesn't intervene, no one will. Dead Weight is marketed as horror, but unlike The Night Guest , there are no horror elements. I still really enjoyed it as a fast-paced domestic thriller novella.

Release Blitz: Raising Genius by Nam Nguyen

 


Mozart, Einstein, Jobs

 

Nonfiction, History, Biographies

Date Published: October 6, 2025



They were three of the greatest minds in history. But before they changed the world, they were children.


Raising Genius tells the untold parenting stories of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Albert Einstein, and Steve Jobs—and reveals the price of brilliance.

 

* Mozart’s father paraded him across Europe as a child prodigy, driving him to dazzling heights and early ruin.

* Einstein’s mother pushed him relentlessly, molding a stubborn dreamer into the world’s most famous scientist.

* Steve Jobs was adopted by a machinist and a bookkeeper, raised in a California garage where craftsmanship met rebellion—only to falter when fatherhood became his own test.

 

Written as gripping narrative nonfiction, Raising Genius reads like a novel but stays true to history. You’ll walk candlelit halls in Vienna, sit in Einstein’s parlor in Bern, and stand in the Los Altos garage where Apple was born. Each scene is real, each triumph shadowed by sacrifice.

 

This is not just another biography. It is a reflection on parenting and genius—how families shape greatness, and what genius costs in return.

 

Mozart gave his body.

Einstein gave his family.

Jobs gave his daughter.

 

The world remembers their brilliance. This is the story of the parents who made—and unmade—them.


About the Author


When I’m not building LEGO cities with my sons or racing through backyard obstacle courses, I’m writing about parenting, leadership, and the forces that shape human potential.

I blend backgrounds in psychology, neuroscience, and business strategy to create books that help parents and readers think differently about raising children, balancing modern life, and understanding the roots of genius. My work spans practical parenting guides like Raising Future Leaders and Perfect Parents Don’t Exist, as well as narrative nonfiction such as Raising Genius: Mozart, Einstein, Jobs — The Price of Brilliance.

Through my writing and consulting, I aim to make research and history not only accessible, but actionable—so that families can thrive, and readers can see the world in new ways.
