The bar chart shows information about fiction book sales from 2006 to 2010. Write a report of at least 150 words summarising the main details and making comparisons where necessary.

The bar charts illustrates sales information for five categories of fiction books over the five-year period from 2006 to 2010. Overall, sales of romance and mystery novels far exceeded those of young adult, classics, and sci-fi, although sales of all types experienced fluctuations throughout the duration. Romance and mystery books both had significant spikes in sales from 2006 to 2007, increasing from $82 million and $61 million to $114 million and $81 million respectively. Similarly, both had major drops in the following year. However, whereas mystery books continued to decline in popularity in 2009, romance novels began to steadily grow in sales and finished the period slightly above its sales in the initial year, while mystery sales in 2010 were slightly under what they had been at the beginning. At the other end of the scale, sci-fi books were the least popular throughout the period, except for the final year where classics slumped to a low of just $10 million in sales, while sci-fi sales figures were approximately $15 million at this point. Finally, although classics and young adult were about equally popular in the middle years, with sales of around $30 million (2007), $20 million (2008) and $25 million (2009), in 2006 and 2010 the classics were outsold by young adult novels by a ratio of approximately two to one.
