Dinner On Monster Island is a crazy-good collection of essays. I love the reflections on Singapore and its issues intertwined with (mostly horror) media analysis, as for the most part it works well, and it's extremely compelling. The essay that talked about Crazy Rich Asians and De Rozario's dislike of it was especially enlightening to me - as an American, I feel like I don't have a great grasp on how racism, xenophobia, and colorism function in other parts of the world. 

There were a few parts where I felt that threads were woven and then not followed through (honestly, I think that could've been fixed by reordering some of the middle essays), but overall, superb. De Rozario is the narrator for the audiobook as well as the author, and she is just as fantastic of a reader as she is a writer. Can't wait to read more of her fine work!!
