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.
