This is not a 600 page book. The Kindle version page number (594) that Amazon cites is wrong. Amazon quite frequently gets it wrong.
What paperback is 464 pages? What hardcover is 380 pages? You are using blanket statements for things without enough detail.

GR lists anywhere from 320 (first edition hard cover) to 575 pages (Arrow Books paperback). One language has a 640 page hard cover version.

The Amazon listing actually uses the Arrow Books version (ISBN 0099457067, link) but GR lengths don't include front and back matter (at least they aren't supposed to) so the numbers aren't always exactly the same.

latepaul: I look at the "All Editions" link on Goodreads to get an idea for page lengths that I am comfortable with. I normally base it on a mass market paperback version but that isn't always available. I am trying to shift my internal gauge to use word counts (which are often available at BookShout or AR BookFinder) since that seems more consistent than page counts.
