I get asked about physical heft a lot, and with 'Crawl' the short version is: the typical trade paperback sits around the
300–350 page mark. Publishers and formats are the sneaky culprits — a compact mass-market version can shave off pages with tighter type and smaller trim, while a
Hardcover with wider
Margins and extra front/back matter can push the count toward 360–400 pages.
If you want a clock for reading, expect roughly 80,000–100,000 words in that neighborhood, which translates to about 6–9 hours of steady reading depending on how distracted I am by snacks and side plots. E-book editions won’t have “pages” in the same physical sense, but most
e-readers map to the paperback count so you can judge length without guessing. Personally, I love the weight of a chunky paperback — it feels like committing to an adventure, and 'Crawl' sits nicely in that sweet spot for me.
