That should be very good.
The way I remember the book is that the ents took out the tower much like in the movie but after many of them moved on to Helms deep to fight in the helms deep battle. Only a few stayed behind with merry and pipin. At Helms deep thay actually turned the the tide of the battle after the riders evened the odds a little more. Plus I thought the elves arrived for the final battle in the third book, the only elf at Helm's deep in the book was Legolos.

Have to love that contigent of elvish archers and the lucky old man who fired the first arrow because he could no longer withstand the strain on his bow. The movie was still awsome it does not have to be identical to the book.
