I liked the plot and idea of the story. It is interesting to see a character who is unsympathetic and does not have a tragic back story to explain it. I don't think the ending qualifies as a redemption story, but I would understand if others read it like that. Although it completes a character arc, it feels a little unrealistic to think he actually reformed. I think the movie is actually much more cynical showing that the character managed to find himself in a good situation, it shows he has hardly become a better person at all.
The title of the book feels a little bit like a side story, but I think it is an interesting point and has a relation to the overall sentiment behind the book.

The book is about hyper-violence. It has a lot of random acts of extreme violence, sexual assault and sex act with a minor. It also shows torture as part of the plot.chyneyee's review against another edition

The fictional society is the result of the combination of elements from both communist and capitalist societies. The State's ideology believes that humans can always become virtuous and good through education and reform because of the assumption that humans are morally perfectible.
In contrast, Alex believes humans have the right or choice to act evil. A government that doesn't allow its citizens to misbehave is a government that denies its citizens their right to be human beings. His resistance to the State's radical and logical thought by using his intuition is the only choice he has under the oppressive regime and the only way to bring out his identity and the genuine part of him.
