The very few times a publisher has asked my opinion on an ARC and I didn't like it (I receive most of mine because I do collection development at the library/teen booktalks and no review is really expected), I usually say something like, it is not what I usually read, but I think fans of _______ series or _______ book would like it. I have never beta read anything, except one of my friends' stories, so usually by the time they ask my opinion the book is about to be published or already published. I try to be as positive as I can be, but if there is something really bad about it, like holes in the plot, the ending doesn't make sense, or all the characters are unlikeable and I think it will be hard for the intended audience to relate to them, I let them know. If you are reading it early enough, that may give them time to tweak it. It is terrible to read something and know you just can't give it a good review.
