I do confess myself, whilst trying to read Inferno in hardcover it began to lose me, unless were I sitting on a plane with nothing more to do, then it would fulfill all my much needed occupied time; however, life always finds ways to intervene. Instead, I listened to Inferno on audiobook while commuting about in my car, and continued on that way. When I find a book being back-shelved in my collection, I lean towards my secondary medium of favor.
There were some sections within Inferno that I realized I wished I had been savoring via hardcover, because rewinding during an audiobook is rather haphazard and sloppy. Drinking up Dan Brown's cooked up words are just deliciously cherishable to my palate. How he reminisces through Langdon's classroom settings supplements palpably to the story overall enhancing the present conflict. Only if the movies would portray the same effect; unfortunately films are always strangled with time restraints.
The Lost Symbol was a tantamount achievement, methinks, within the Robert Langdon series. Inferno was a jewel, but I wouldn't necessary compare a ruby to a diamond. I am a meticulously patient person, and believe deeply in the old saying of "save the best for last." Thus, let them produce Inferno firstly, and Lost Symbol secondly. Let the better of the two chime the loudest and shine the brightest. It would serve better to have such an elaborately and sensationally masterminded series of work climax with a crescendo, than to burn out and leave everyone in want. The context and the delivery are all crucial aspects of entertainment.
The fact of the matter is that National Treasure and The Lost Symbol are far too similar, and it would be far better served to allow enough time to pass by that audiences and critics have forgotten all about it before unleashing Dan Brown's own.

I suggest you indulge yourself and obtain the paperback version forthwith. While Dan Brown's prose does not emanate the delectable literary aroma that you would extract from a hardcover, you will acquire that the chagrin of having to exhibit a beggarly paperback will rouse you into finishing Master Brown's latest tale most promptly -- allowing you to then dispose of it into the nearest rubbish receptacle and boast to your colleagues that you did indeed finish the hardcover! No need to offer contribution for the advisement as it is my utmost pleasure! I will now bid you adieu!
