Gravey101, I agree with you totally, I cannot imagine anything in the book without reverting to the images used in the film EXCEPT for the trolls.

Dunno why, but I still have the trolls in my head as kind of like big orcs, rather than the doughboy things pictured in the movie.

Geo, I guess Gondor is kind of round Rome/Greece (certainly the style of buildings used in the movie look like a cross between renaissance and classical architecture).

Dwarfs? not Holland, no mountains (or hills for that matter) unless that was your joke - more like Norway I feel. You can imagine Gimli doing the Swedish chef impression with his axe
