I'll give you an informed report of the following, as well as any specific questions you may have:

• Do I want to keep reading past the first chapters?

• Are the characters engaging/do I care about them?

• Does the plot "grab" me, and does it make sense? Are there any holes?

• Do I have a fair idea of who's who and how they fit in the big picture?

• If there's any chronology involved, does it make sense?

• Are there too many characters?

• Is the dialogue believable? Is it appropriate to the region?

• Are there too many clichés? Overused adverbs? Redundant wording?

• Do the sentences flow well?

• Does the conflict feel contrived? (a.k.a. Yes, this is fiction, but I have to want to believe it!)
