Sometimes I really wish i hadn't started thinking about things. Goodreads has multiple versions available all with different numbers of pages - no problem - in fact, expected. Amazon has multiple different versions available, all with different numbers of pages (mostly different to the numbers Goodreads has, except for hardcover). The Amazon kindle version is advertised as 353 pages, but I bought it and my kindle tells me it has 334 paages. At the end of the day, it really doesn't matter, but it is all rather confusing!
oh no! I wonder if there are additional pages in the book that aren't included in the Kindle version! Not very important at the end of the day, true, but interesting information and question nonetheless!
Right - nearly there. Goodreads has a Kindle edition at 352 pages and Amazon says the Kindle edition has 353 - I am not going to argue about 1 page. The only remaining question is why, when you buy that same Kindle edition it turns out to actually have 334 pages.
