Of course HCIsland is right! Instead of thinking 'is this close to the books?', you might consider 'will this work in a movie & to a non-Tolkien audience?'.<P>And, in the books the Misty Mountains weren't described as being that high close to Isengard - Treebeard could have taken the Hobbits close to a place where they only had to walk down some path to get to the low lands.
