So the edition of The Tommyknockers that you read probably had a pretty small font (that's pretty standard for King mass market paperbacks) or it was a hardback book (in which case it would take fewer pages even with a slightly larger font). <br /><br />I noticed HP & The Order of the Phoenix making a lot of lists, and the paperback version (according to Amazon) is 896 pages, whereas the Kindle version is only 815, and the hardcover is 870. This is why I figured it made the most sense to just use the Kindle page count for every book since I couldn't tell you exactly which edition of any of the books I read in the first place. It just seemed like the best way to get a good comparison of book length between the books. <br /><br />Thanks for stopping by. - Katie Just Another Girl and Her Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16895231437169823163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-819285584629633867.post-23188306538555409152018-10-09T17:21:42.701-07:002018-10-09T17:21:42.701-07:00I didn't realize that KING had so many long bo...I didn't realize that KING had so many long books.
