| Here the verb "read" is middle voice, which means it is grammatically active but semantically passive. So the sentence "The book reads well" means "One reads the book well". |

| It is grammatically correct. For example, it's a bit like saying, "The car drives well." Obviously we don't mean that the car is a good driver, but that it is good to drive. Same. |
