I removed the tail recursion for you:

private book IsEven(int number) {
    if(number > 1) return IsEven(number - 2) == true;
    if(number == 0) return true; 
    if(number == 2) return false;
}

    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
