But I am a character driven reader, and imagery is the seasoning, not the meat and vegetables for me.
The first time through a work, it's the characters that drag me, but I think welldone imagery and description help accent and define character so that as the book proceeds, you realize you're trailing a fully-formed being through the plot, one with a history, demons, dreams. Later, it becomes one of the spurs to reread, as I know the joy of finding new images and angles in a particular work.
