I was pretty tired when I read that part but the description of a cell structure of no more than 3 at a time seemed pretty useful. I had real trouble picturing the structure as a whole at the time.
Having Mike and the Prof as exposition dumps/deus ex machina's is a bit of a cheap writing trick but it's not as jarring as when it happens in films and it's necessary to keep the length under 1000 pages.
Definitely enjoying it more once i've got used to the language style, the conversations with Mike are always fun to read.
Finally caught up.
