Great suggestions everyone! Thanks!
Chipper Monkey, I'm pretty much a straight shooter too. I was once told I call a spade a friggin' shovel.  I've learned to be tactful over the years though. I like the idea of picking a few things I like and tell her about those. Also like the idea of speed reading through to the end.
Hankster, do you know how to find out what sort of formatting publishers expect?
Little Lulu, you pegged it. She is looking for kudos.
I'm concerned how she is going to handle what is likely to happen when she submits the manuscript to a publisher. At best it's going to end up buried in a slush pile. At worst she's going to receive rejection letters. She'sw of the belief that she's written a best seller that's going to shoot straight to number one. Needless to say I'm keeping these concerns to myself. I'll be there to be supportive if this doesn't work out.
