The most heart-wrenching scene for me was when the Captains of the West were surrounded by the army from Mordor. Pippin fells a troll and then closes his eyes and waits for death. That ended Book 5 and I had tears in my eyes thinking that Pippin (and likely everyone else) was dead.
The most amazing scene for me was on Pellenor fields. Eomer finds Theoden dead and Eowyn on the verge of death and then has to carry on, stunned and grim.
He recites some poetry and waits for the Black ships to come. He then discovers that Aragorn is in the ships and the Rohirrim and Minas Tirith explode in delight.
Beautiful writing.
