I wouldn't tell him it sucks. Mats Gambling Buddy Send a noteboard - 20/12/2009 04:14:10 PM
But definitely give him some constructive criticism. If you say it's great when it's not, and he pitches it to a publisher thinking it's a masterpiece when maybe he could have helped him improve it starting at this early point, it will be a whole lot more work for him to fix it.
Makin' sweet love to CMBs since 2001.
