Differences

• In the book, most of the story has a lot of NADSAT, but in the movie, the characters do not say as much NADSAT words as in the book.
• Alex and his friends save a girl from being raped by another gang. In the book the girl age is around 12 while at the movie, the girl is around 20.
• In the book, Alex is 15 years old but in the movie, he looks like a grown up man, I mean, something around 20. 
• The bar where the gang drinks milk, is completely different to what I imagined. It had some nude girl statues and is full of boys. At the book, there are 3 girls singing while the movie is just one surrounded by boys.
• At the book, when Alex and his gang enter a house to ron or rape a woman, they uses famous people masks as Elvis Presley, but on the movie, they all use like a mask with a giant nose like the one Pinocho has. 

Similarities

• They are the same amount of people that form the gang.
• They drink "moloko" milk at the extravagant bar. 
• They enter a house to rob and rape the woman.
• Alex and his quad save a girl form being raped.

Conclusion

The movie and the book are the same, I mean, the gang does the same activities (rob, rape and hit the old man) but there are some little details (the ones mention previously) that make the movie have a different approach and message to transmit.
