For me, I always wanted to find out what happened to Frodo and Sam, so any part without them I found harder to read. I also had a hard time will the battles. I had trouble visualizing what helms deep looked like. Funny, but I have a very clear picture of Minas Tirith, but not helms deep (before movie). I never had problems with Tom Bombadil, but I agree that the council of Elrond could be considered too long.
