It looks like it's using the 420 character limit instituted for reading progress comments (as mentioned earlier in this thread), but I've definitely got the custom column linked with the "Review text column:" setting in the plugin.
I've had a look at this. The fault is on the Goodreads side. The API they have made available to fetch the review text only returns the first 298 characters of the review. There doesn't seem to be a way to change this. And it seems to have been that way for a while.
