Just borrowed this biography of Heidegger. Anyone here familiar with his writings? What do you think of him?

Read it, enjoyed it. Its a decent introduction to his philosophy, but much better as a supplement.
Shitposters will say Heidegger's writing is obtuse, meaningless, and intentionally overcomplicated.
They're somewhat right, he's a horrible read until you get a handle on how he writes. Past that he's worth the effort. Avoid being and time at first, I'd recommend reading 'history of the concept of time' first, perhaps alongside some supplementary texts. Helps to have an understanding of Aristotle and Husserl.
