I am 11 years old I read this book for my book report. "On and Off the Ice" had plenty of funny stories about Dorthy Hammil's skating career. The only problem with this book is that it barely talks about Dorthy Hammil's life "off the ice." In the end I got points taken off on my book report because I only told about her life as a figure skater. Some of you will be interested in the fact she married Dean Martin Jr. son of Dean Martin who she met through Desi Arnez Jr. (Little Ricky from I Love Lucy) Overall I loved this book and I think that most people will like it.
