I enjoyed "The Laughing Man", "Down at the Dinghy", "For Esme" and even "De Daumier-Smith's Blue Period" because in these you could feel the essential warmth of connection between the characters, even when they acted immature. In the ones I didn't like so much ("Teddy", "Bananafish", "Wiggily")the humor was too smirky, by which I mean it's hard to feel that the characters aren't reflecting Salinger's own hostility towards the average, dim adult (you!) 
 All the stories are well-written and well-crafted (maybe "Eskimos" excluded). The dialogue of small children could not have been more authentic. However, the stories struck me more as a vehicle for the author to show off his considerable talent and story tricks than as a way for readers to gain more insight into human beings. Either that or I spend my time with nicer people than Salinger did.
