And also, while the first 5 Belgariad books are pretty entertaining, especially if you're sixteen, the second five canonically repeat the EXACT plot of the first five. Canonically! It is explicitly stated that because of a magicevilprophecydimensional... thing... everything is happening all over again.

That, more than the usual "kill your parents and beg for mercy because you're an orphan," to me defines chutzpah.
