Jordie:
"I like fiction that can move people, as well as
inform, and A BOy in France did none of that for me. 
There is definitely something missing from this piece when
compared to his other stories."

I'll agree that it wasn't Salinger's most well-developed story.
I think Salinger get's it right the second time around in _For 
Esme With Love and Squalor_, which was published in 9 Short 
Stories (it's not in that set you downloaded).  

By the way, I've admittedly been a little harsh in this discussion.
It's just that I hate seeing any work of art unfairly panned.
