You might find this construction easier:
read ANSWER
case $ANSWER
in
[Yy]*)
echo 'good'
echo 'Enter script to run here....'
;;
*)
echo 'bad'
echo 'Carry on to next part of current script...'
;;
esac
It's a little easier to write and much easier to add additional choices.
Note that unlike C, you don't fall through after a match.
