I didn't get this.

Why return book? Does that have some Blizzard reference?
And why would number == 2 ⇒ return false? This is a function for getting true when the number is even, right?

Haha, you're right. I've now learned two things:

  1. I should not write code on a mobile
  2. I should not become a proof reader

At the end of the day i just wanted the function to be worse, by causing stack overflows
