Is Stendhal any good? Will I be disappointed in character development here?

This is the last book I read that I really thought was great. Other than presumably more Stendhal, what/who should I read. I think the most similar I've read so far is maybe David Copperfield which I also thought was good, although very long winded, especially during the first quarter or so.

I thought Roger Gard's translation was excellent, don't know how it compares to the others but I found it very readable.

There are probably better ones available but it was adequate
