Warm bodies vs. Danger word and 28 days later

Typical zombies we usually see in movies and books do nor have individuality or humanity. They do not feel any complex human emotions other than hunger and anger. They most of the times roam around in groups and attack humans, infecting them. These typical zombies are often portrayed as humans losing their identities in the society, conforming in groups. Some say that they reflect people with disabilities, as they are often mistreated.
Zombies from Danger word and 28 days later are two stories that go quite with typical zombie stories. First of all, although it is rage-not some kind of pathogen- that people are infected with, infected people lose their mind as soon as they become infected (whether or not they are alive). They do not seem to think rationally and the only one thing they care about is to infect other human being. In Danger word, the zombies are a little more sophisticated than the ones from the 28 days later. They know how to speak few words, remembering the language they knew before. However, they too, cannot think anything except hunger. As soon as they become infacted, nothing matters (even families do not matter).
Warm bodies very different from typical zombie stories from the fact that zombies except the bonies can feel more than hunger and even help humans against bonies. Although they are not fully functional  they can act like humans and feel as humans do (guilt, sadness, happiness, love, and so on). Compare to other zombie stories, Warm Bodies depict zombies more close to human beings than simple carnivorous monsters.
