I stopped watching it when I gave my life to the Lord almost 30 years ago but I still remember the old in/out and singing in the rain. That movie got me hooked on Ludwig van

Not only is the book better, it ends completely differently than the movie. Throughout the whole story, various people try to make Alex a good person by punishing him, by manipulating him, by persuading him, and ultimately by forcing him involuntarily to be good, but he remains at his core a despicable and loathsome excuse for a human.
At the end of the book, he simply wakes up one morning and decides he is tired of being a bad person and would like to change. Despite everyone else trying to change him, it never had any effect. He had to change himself for his own reasons.
