Corrected entry: When the English teacher quizzes his students on who invented the paperback book, the serial and the term "cliffhanger", the answer he gives is Charles Dickens, which is wrong. Thomas Hardy invented the notion, and not in his first book but in his third, A Pair of Blue Eyes. As far as the rest is concerned, Hardy is also well-known for his serial novels, and anyway, I think paperback books and serials would rather have been invented by publishers than writers.
Corrected entry: Sam's facial expression changes in response to hearing the song Come on Eileen before it actually starts playing.
Correction: When Sam's facial expression changes, a violin tune is playing in the background. This is the beginning of Come on Eileen, which she recognised. There are different versions of the song, where no intro is played.
Correction: Dickens first used the idea of the paperback for publishing "The PickWick Papers" [serialized March 1836 to October 1837]. Hardy's "A Pair of Blue Eyes" was serialized nearly FORTY years later [September 1872 and July 1873.] See this source, as one of many, which cite to Dickens as inventing the idea/term/notion of "paperback. http://www.directworks.org/students/marketing-careers-for-students/career-resources/what-dickens-did-for-direct.
