I'm currently writing a big document in LaTeX. The language is English and since I'm not a native English speaker, I've found a friend who will review and correct the document for me as soon as I have finished it.
Now I'm thinking about how this can be done. I don't want him to change the original version of my documents, since maybe I don't want to include all the modifications. So how can I best compare two different versions of LaTeX documents to see what he has changed?

The preferred way is
latexdiff. You'll need to have Perl installed, as this is really a script.The usage is quite simple (see below), but check the documentation for more options.
On an unrelated note, I had a question some time ago about comparing PDF documents, but hopefully you won't need that.
You might also find this discussion helpful, which is partly related to what you're asking.
