It is also easier if there is a movie related to the book, then picturing the characters is pretty sharp and easy as I just picture the actors and the locations from the movie.

No, no, no! You must read the book
first. It’s an unalterable law of the universe.
To answer the question: I’m mostly about the words and the language, but I do get snapshots. Rather blurry snapshots. When the text is about imagery, I make an effort to slow down and picture it, rather than bang through. The other senses aren’t in play — except that when I listen to an audiobook, I’ll identify some voices as “wrong.”
