To me, a good book is one that has enough description in it to make me "see" the scene as an actual place that I can go to in my mind anytime I like. I had a vision of The Shire, Rivendell, etc. long before I saw the movie. And a book that gives me insight into the way the character thinks and why they relate to the other characters the way they do is a plus.
