The current method differs from the "read" only by the "IllegalArgumentException", all other exceptions we will handle here will mean a bug in the read method, which also can be used by the app.

I do not understand why the app should be ready for unexpected/unspecified exceptions in case of "read" method and could not be ready in this one.
