In Carl Hiaasen's book Lucky You, the poacher and the counterfeiter form a bond because they share a common disdain for societal norms and government authorities. Their connection is strengthened by their mutual contempt for various social issues and regulations they oppose or dislike.
Hiaasen highlights that these characters uniting over their shared rebellious attitude exemplifies their rejection of conventional values, from taxes to social policies. Their alliance underscores a broader theme of alienation and defiance against mainstream institutions and beliefs.
