"Such-and-such is pretty good about the book, BUT it could use this-and-this. But then there's that-and-that, which is good."
it's kind of a funny concept to me, and probably comes off as a cop-out to most people, but really, in these kinds of situations, copping out is pretty much exactly what i want to do.
it's a problem if you can't come up with something even superficially good about the work.

I would like some opinions, please...

Perhaps tell him the story has good bones, and you look forward to seeing a future draft.
