The first time I read it I was quite surprised about The Conspiracy of Sam, Pippin and Merry. I wondered how Frodo was going to bring it to them, and I thought it a very nice turn in the story. By the Death of Gandalf I wasn't thinking him dead, though with Frodo in Cirith Ungol I doubted. As for the Eowyn-Dernhelm part: no I guessed it from the very first moment.
Bilbo being in Rivendell was a surprise (though not entirely unexpected) as well. And there is one thing that surprised me alot. The death of the Witchking and that it actually had to be Merry dealing the blow (and Eowyn).
greetings,
