Point out the major problems.  The plot's usually harder to fix than
spelling and grammar problems, but major holes in the plot, bad
characterization, etc, can be pointed out fairly quickly.  

I have to agree with John on this. Spelling and grammar and format are
annoying, but plot holes are death. They're also high on the lists of easy
things for a reader to spot and things a writer will miss on their own
(because it makes sense to them).
